⚡ THE 'NOW' PATTERN

In the text, we see a contrast between the past and today. For A2 learners, the most important thing is how to describe things happening right now.

The Logic When we talk about current trends, we use: Subject + are/is + verb(-ing)

Examples from the text:

  • People are watching \rightarrow (It is happening these days)
  • Women are watching \rightarrow (This is a new trend)

📦 ACTION WORDS (Who does what?)

Look at how the text describes companies. These are simple 'Subject + Action' sentences. This is the foundation of A2 speaking.

Quick Tip: Use these simple verbs to describe your own job or hobbies. Example: "I make coffee" or "I want English."
