🛠️ How to describe 'Who' and 'What'

In this text, we see a pattern: [Person/Thing] + [Action].

  • An ambulance (Who/What) → hit (Action) → another car (Who/What).
  • The police (Who/What) → want to know (Action).

The 'Past' Secret Look at the word died. It comes from die. In A2 English, we often add -ed to the end of a word to show it happened yesterday or a long time ago.

  • Die \rightarrow Died
  • Happen \rightarrow Happened

Useful Word Groups Instead of just saying 'people', use these specific words from the text to sound more natural:

  • Paramedics (Medical helpers in a car)
  • Patient (A sick person)
  • Driver (The person steering the car)
