Vocabulary Learning
🏃 Movement & Action
Look at how the text describes people moving from one place to another. This is a key A2 skill: describing where people go.
The Pattern: [Person] + [Action] + [Destination]
- People left their homes
- People move to a safe town
- 1,500 people stayed in shelters
Quick Word Guide:
- Leave: To go away from a place.
- Move to: To go to a new place.
- Stay in: To remain in one place.
Wait! Why 'Stayed'? In the text, the rain happened first, so the people stayed (past) in the shelters. When we talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word.
