⚡ Quick Focus: Describing People
To reach A2, you need to connect who someone is with what they do. Look at how the text describes the players:
- Age + Role "Gage Wood is a 22-year-old pitcher"
- Ability "He throws the ball very fast"
- Status "He is a good player"
The Pattern:
Name + is a + Age-year-old + Job/Role
Example from text: Garrett Wright is a 21-year-old catcher.
Why this helps: Instead of saying "He is 21. He is a catcher," you combine them into one strong sentence. This is a key step for A2 English.
