Learning

⚡ The 'People' Pattern

In this text, we see how to talk about people using titles and names. At A2 level, you need to connect a person's job to their identity.

The Pattern: [Job Title] + [Name]

  • Justice → Kavanaugh
  • Secretary → Hegseth
  • Director → Patel
  • President → Trump

Why this matters: In English, we put the job title before the name to show who the person is. You don't need a word like 'the' when it is a title for a specific name.

Example from the text:

  • "Justice Kavanaugh drank a lot..." (Correct)
  • "The Justice Kavanaugh..." (Incorrect)

Quick Tip: Use this for any job: Teacher Sarah →\rightarrow Doctor Smith →\rightarrow Chef Mario
