The 'Who Does What' Pattern

Look at these sentences from the text. They follow a simple path: Person/Company $\rightarrow$ Action $\rightarrow$ Object.

Meta $\rightarrow$ deleted $\rightarrow$ these photos
Google and TikTok $\rightarrow$ agree $\rightarrow$ to talk
The police $\rightarrow$ are helping $\rightarrow$ some victims

Why this matters for A2: To speak English clearly, you don't need fancy words. You just need this sequence. If you change the person, the sentence still works:

$\to$ The teacher $\to$ deleted $\to$ the email $\to$ My friend $\to$ agrees $\to$ to talk

Quick Tip: Action Words (Verbs) In the article, notice how words like deleted, answer, and pays tell us exactly what is happening. To reach A2, focus on these 'action' words to build your sentences.
