The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe what people or groups do in the text. We use a simple formula: Who \rightarrow Does What \rightarrow The Result

  • NATO \rightarrow uses AI \rightarrow (to stop war)
  • Ukraine \rightarrow uses drones \rightarrow (to weaken the army)
  • Russia \rightarrow uses machines \rightarrow (to block signals)

Key Vocabulary for A2:

  • To use: Using a tool (e.g., I use a phone).
  • To stop: Making something finish or end.
  • To find: Seeing something for the first time.

Quick Tip: Notice that when we talk about one group (NATO, Ukraine, Russia), we add an 's' to the action word: Use \rightarrow Uses
