🟢 The 'Who does What' Pattern

In the text, we see a simple way to talk about a group or person and their action.

The Formula: Person/Group \to Action (Verb) \to Goal/Object

Examples from the text:

  • RAISE US \to helps \to workers
  • Microsoft \to give \to money
  • Arkansas \to uses \to a tool

💡 Quick Guide: The 'S' Rule

Notice how the words change when we talk about one group or person:

  • RAISE US helps (One group \to add s)
  • Arkansas uses (One state \to add s)
  • Maryland helps (One state \to add s)

But when there are many, we don't add the 's':

  • Companies help (Many companies \to no s)
  • Leaders work (Many leaders \to no s)
