⚡ The 'Action' Word Pattern

In this story, we see words that describe things happening right now or regularly. This is the key to A2 English: moving from words to sentences.

The 'S' Rule for People When one person or group does something, we often add an -s to the action word:

  • The government says → (One group speaking)
  • Instagram said → (Past version of 'says')
  • The party thinks → (One group believing)

Opposite Directions Look at how the story uses these words to show a fight:

  • Blocked (Stopped something) →\rightarrow Back (Returned)
  • True (Correct) →\rightarrow Mistake (Wrong)

Simple Sentence Build To speak at an A2 level, follow this path: Who →\rightarrow Action →\rightarrow What

  • Rahul Gandhi →\rightarrow posted →\rightarrow a video.
  • The government →\rightarrow did not tell →\rightarrow Instagram.
