Vocabulary Learning

📦 The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe what something does using a simple formula: [Thing] + [Action] + [Object]

  • Robots \rightarrow move \rightarrow boxes
  • Device \rightarrow tracks \rightarrow time
  • Company \rightarrow sends \rightarrow packages

Why this matters for A2: Stop overthinking! To describe a job or a tool, just use this direct line.

Key Word Shift: Instead of just saying 'do', use these specific words from the text to sound more natural:

  • Sort (put things in order)
  • Track (follow where something is)
  • Follow (do what someone says)
