💡 THE 'WHO DID WHAT' PATTERN

In English, we usually put the person first, then the action. This is the easiest way to tell a story.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Alexandra Eala \rightarrow won
  • Arthur Fery \rightarrow won
  • Novak Djokovic \rightarrow won

How to change the person: If you want to talk about someone else, just swap the name. The action word (won) stays the same.

  • Example: My friend \rightarrow won.

🏥 TALKING ABOUT PROBLEMS

When something is wrong with a body part, use: [Person] + has a + [Problem] + [Body Part].

  • From the text: Serena Williams \rightarrow has a \rightarrow hurt \rightarrow knee.

Try this pattern for other things:

  • I \rightarrow have a \rightarrow sore \rightarrow throat.
  • He \rightarrow has a \rightarrow broken \rightarrow arm.
