🚗 Moving from 'Basic' to 'Detailed'

To reach A2, you need to describe what happened and how it happened.

The Action Pattern:

  • Hit (Simple action) → Caught fire (Result/Change)
  • Died (Final result) → Was sick (State of being)

Connecting Ideas with 'Because of': In the text, we see: ...died in a Lamborghini because of a gun.

Use 'because of' + [a thing/noun] to explain a reason quickly:

  • I am late → because of → the traffic.
  • The car stopped → because of → the rain.
  • He is tired → because of → work.

Word Swap for Variety: Instead of saying "bad" or "hurt," use these specific A2 words found in the text:

  • Sober (Not drunk)
  • Injuries (Physical hurt)
  • Information (Facts/Details)
