πŸ₯Š THE 'WHO DOES WHAT' PATTERN

In English, we usually follow a simple line: Person β†’ Action β†’ Target.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Daniel Dubois (Person) β†’ won (Action) β†’ the title (Target).
  • Arnold Allen (Person) β†’ fights (Action) β†’ Melquizael Costa (Target).

πŸ“… TALKING ABOUT TIME

When we say when something happens, we use these small words:

  1. ON β†’ Use for a specific date (On May 23, On August 1).
  2. IN β†’ Use for a month or a year (In August, In 2026).

Quick Rule: Specific Day = On β†’\rightarrow General Month/Year = In.
