Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The 'Fast Action' Pattern
In this text, we see a pattern for describing things that happen quickly. To reach A2, you need to connect people to results using simple past words.
The Formula:
Person + Action Word + Time/Way
Examples from the text:
- Max Holloway won quickly.
- The fight ended in 69 seconds.
- Paddy Pimblett won in 52 seconds.
Key Words to Steal:
- Won (The past of 'win')
- Ended (The past of 'end')
- Quickly (How it happened)
💡 Pro Tip: Notice that for most of these, we just add -ed to the end of the word to talk about the past (End Ended). But 'Win' is special; it changes completely to 'Won'.
