⚡ The 'Who does What' Pattern

In this text, we see a very simple way to describe groups of people. Look at how we talk about the teams:

  • Some teams \rightarrow pick older players.
  • Other teams \rightarrow pick fast players.

Why this helps you reach A2: When you talk about people, you don't have to say the name every time. You can use Some and Other to show a difference.

Try this logic in your life:

  • Some students \rightarrow like English.
  • Other students \rightarrow like Math.

🛠️ Action Words (Verbs)

Notice these three words used to describe a process:
