💡 The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe things happening right now or generally. Look at these words:

  • hit (The bombs hit the city)
  • live (People live there)
  • disagree (Groups disagree)
  • leave (People leave homes)

The Secret: When you talk about a group of people (Plural), the action word stays simple. You don't add anything to the end.
