The 'Who does What' Pattern
Look at how we describe people in the story:
- Kade Pieper is a top player.
- Trevor Lauck is a big player.
- Zach Lutmer is a good player.
The Simple Rule:
To describe someone, use: Person → is → Adjective → Noun.
Examples from the text:
- Kade is top player
- Trevor is big player
Try this logic for A2 English: Instead of just saying "He is good," add a noun to be more specific.
- Wrong: He is big.
- Better (A2): He is a big player.
Word Alert: 'Want to'
In the text, we see: *"Kade wants to play in the NFL."
Use this when you have a dream or a goal:
Person + wants to + Action
- Example: Kade wants to play.
