📦 Making a Sentence: The 'Who' and the 'Action'

To reach A2, you need to connect a person/thing to an action. Look at how this text does it:

  • Vietnam (Who) →\rightarrow has (Action) →\rightarrow 105 million people (What).

The Simple Secret: In English, we almost always follow this path: Subject →\rightarrow Verb →\rightarrow Object.
