🛠️ Simple Action Words

To reach A2, use clear verbs that describe a direct action. Avoid big words. Use these instead:

  • Say (Luo said Edens...)
  • Tell (She told Edens to...)
  • Go (She went to the office...)

Quick Tip: Tell is for people (Tell him, tell the news). Say is for words (Say sorry, say bad things).
