⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe people's jobs and what they do. We use a simple pattern: Person + Action + Place/Person.

  • Clement Turpin \rightarrow will referee \rightarrow England and Norway.
  • Michael Oliver \rightarrow will work \rightarrow at SoFi Stadium.

Quick Tip: The 'Will' Trick When we talk about the future (things that haven't happened yet), we just put will before the action word.

  • Now: He is a referee.
  • Future: He will referee.
