Vocabulary Learning
💡 The Power of 'SAYS'
In this story, we see a pattern used to report what people think or claim. This is a key skill for A2 English.
The Pattern:
Person + says + fact/story
Examples from the text:
- She says Marcellus hurt her.
- He says these stories are not true.
- They said he hit someone. (Past version)
Why this helps you: Instead of using complex words, you can use says to explain someone else's opinion.
Simple Switch:
- I think it is raining He says it is raining.
- I am happy She says she is happy.
🛠️ Action Words (Past Tense)
Notice how the text changes action words to talk about things that already happened. Just add -ed to the end of most words:
- Arrest Arrested
- Force Forced
Watch out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely:
- Hit Hit (No change!)
- Say Said (Changes spelling)
