🕰️ The 'Time Order' Trick
In this story, the writer uses time to show us what happened first and what happened next. To reach A2, you should use specific times to organize your sentences.
Look at the pattern:
At 3:00 am→ Action A (The crime starts)At 4:30 am→ Action B (Police find the body)
Why this helps you: Instead of just saying "Then..." or "After that...", using a clock time makes your English sound more precise and clear.
Quick Examples for you to copy:
- At 8:00 am, I wake up.
- At 1:00 pm, I eat lunch.
- At 10:00 pm, I go to sleep.
👤 Who is doing what?
Notice how the text uses simple labels for people. This is the easiest way to describe a group in A2 English:
- The man (One specific person)
- The men (More than one person)
- The killers (The people who did the crime)
- The police (The group in charge)
Key Tip: Always put "the" before these words when you are talking about people in a specific story.
