The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe things happening right now in the text:

  • The court says...
  • The judge says...
  • Candace Owens does not believe...

The Simple Rule: When we talk about a person (He, She, The Judge), we often add an -s to the action word.

Examples from the story:

  • The court says → (The court speaks)
  • She says → (Candace speaks)

The 'No' Rule: When we want to say 'no', we use does not before the action word. The -s disappears!

  • She says (Yes) → She does not believe (No)

Quick Guide: Person + Action-s \rightarrow He works. Person + does not + Action \rightarrow He does not work.
