🧩 The 'S' Secret: Who is doing what?
Look at how we describe people or things in the text. When one person or thing does something, we use a specific form. When we talk about a group, it changes.
The Pattern:

⚡ Action Words (Now vs. Then)
Notice the difference between things that happened in the past and things happening right now:
| Past (Finished) | Now (Current) |
