πŸ’‘ THE 'WHO' AND 'WHAT' CONNECTION

In this text, we see a very simple way to describe people using adjectives (describing words). To reach A2, you need to connect a category of person with a feeling or type.

Look at these patterns:

  • Drug terrorists β†’\rightarrow (Drug = Type) + (Terrorists = People)
  • Religious terrorists β†’\rightarrow (Religious = Type) + (Terrorists = People)
  • Old friends β†’\rightarrow (Old = Time/Type) + (Friends = People)

The Rule: Place the describing word BEFORE the person.

Example from text: "...some of his old friends."

  • Not: "friends old"
  • Correct: "old friends"

⚑️ QUICK WORD SWITCH

Notice how the text changes a feeling into a state:

  • Angry (How he feels) β†’\rightarrow Fighting (What he is doing)
  • Disagree (What they think) β†’\rightarrow Not smart (What he says about them)
