⚡ THE 'PEOPLE' PATTERN

In this text, we see how to describe who is doing something. Let's look at the words used to group people.

1. The Word 'Some' We use some when we don't mean everyone, just a few.

  • Some groups... (Not all groups in the world)
  • Some are 20 years old... (Not every woman in the group)

2. Simple Age Descriptions To talk about age at A2 level, just use: [Person] + [is/are] + [Number] + years old.

  • Some are 20 years old \rightarrow I am 25 years old.
  • Some are 80 years old \rightarrow She is 40 years old.

3. Connecting People Look at how the text connects people to a feeling or action:

  • Women \rightarrow go to trips
  • Women \rightarrow do yoga
  • Women \rightarrow feel calm

Quick Tip: Use 'These' to point back to a group you already mentioned. Example: "Some groups help women... These women lost their mothers."
