The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see a simple way to describe things happening. We use: Someone \rightarrow Action \rightarrow Something.

Look at these examples:

  • The UN \rightarrow wrote \rightarrow a report.
  • Israel \rightarrow stopped \rightarrow food.
  • They \rightarrow buy \rightarrow weapons.

Key Tip for A2 Learners: To move from A1 to A2, stop using only "is" and "are". Use strong action words (verbs) to make your sentences clear.

Word Swap (Simple to Better):

  • The report is about soldiers \rightarrow The report talks about soldiers.
  • The report is a lie \rightarrow Israel says the report is a lie.

Quick Focus: 'Say' vs 'Talk'

  • Say: Used for specific words or facts. (Israel says it is a lie)
  • Talk about: Used for a general topic. (The report talks about children)
