Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the story tells us what happened. The words are short and strong. This is the best way to speak at A2 level.
The Pattern: [Who] + [Action] + [What]
- The trucks burned.
- The road closed.
- People ran away.
Why this works: Instead of using long, confusing sentences, just use a Subject and a Verb.
Try to see the difference: ❌ "There was a situation where the trucks were burning" (Too hard!) ✅ "The trucks burned" (Clear and simple!)
Quick Tip: When you describe a bad day or a news story, stick to this simple formula: Person/Thing Action.
