⚡️ The 'Who Does What' Pattern

Look at how these sentences start. They all follow a simple path: Person/Group → Action → Object.

  • Iran (Who) → kills (Action) → people (Object)
  • The government (Who) → blocks (Action) → the internet (Object)
  • Bahrain (Who) → took away (Action) → citizenship (Object)

Why this helps you reach A2: Beginners often mix up word order. To speak clearly, always put the 'doer' first, then the 'action.'

Quick Tip on Action Words: Notice the 's' at the end of words like kills or stops. We add this when talking about one group or person (Iran/The Government) in the present time.
