⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

In this story, we see a very simple way to describe what people do. We use Person + Action.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Mike Vrabel →\rightarrow is a coach
  • Dianna →\rightarrow left her job
  • NFL →\rightarrow did not start a test

The Secret to A2: To move from a beginner to A2, you must change the action word based on when it happened.

  1. Now (Present): The Chargers make jokes.
  2. Before (Past): A newspaper showed photos.

Quick Tip: Notice how "showed" and "left" tell us the story is already finished. If you want to talk about the past, usually you add -ed to the action word (like show →\rightarrow showed), but some words change completely (like leave →\rightarrow left).
