The 'People' Pattern

Look at how we describe people in this story. To reach A2, you need to move from simple words (man) to detailed words (a 44-year-old man).

1. Adding Age Instead of saying "He is 44," we put the age before the person:

  • A 44-year-old man
  • A man in his 60s

2. Identifying Groups Notice how the text groups people by their role or age:

  • Two young men
  • One other person

3. Status Changes Watch how the state of a person changes using simple verbs:

  • Arrested \rightarrow In jail
  • Questioned \rightarrow Free

Quick Summary: Age/Description \rightarrow Person \rightarrow Action/Status
