Learning

The "Who does what" Pattern

Look at these sentences from the story:

  • Police found blood.
  • Gary deleted a video.
  • Jodie came to his house.

The Secret: In English, we usually put the Person first, then the Action, then the Thing.

Person → Action → Thing

Try to see it here:

  • Police (Person) →\rightarrow want (Action) →\rightarrow to find the killer (Thing).
  • Daniel and Jodie (People) →\rightarrow have (Action) →\rightarrow big problems (Thing).

Quick Tip for A2: When you speak, don't forget the 'Thing'. Instead of saying "Gary deleted," say "Gary deleted a video." It makes your English sound complete!
