⚡ The 'Who Does What' Pattern

In this story, we see a simple way to build sentences: Person \rightarrow Action \rightarrow Thing/Place.


1. Simple Action Chains Look at how the text describes the police:

  • Police \rightarrow checked \rightarrow a report.
  • Police \rightarrow talked \rightarrow to the children.
  • Police \rightarrow finished \rightarrow the work.

2. Past Time (The -ed Rule) To talk about things that already happened, we often just add -ed to the action word:

  • Check \rightarrow Checked
  • Talk \rightarrow Talked
  • Finish \rightarrow Finished

3. The 'No' Pattern To say something is not true or didn't happen, use did not (or did nothing):

  • "Mr. Buttigieg did nothing wrong."
  • "The report was not true."

A2 Tip: When you use did, the action word stays in its basic form. Don't add -ed!
