The "Who does what" Pattern

Look at how we describe people and their roles in this story:

  • Quinn Hughes → A player
  • Bill Guerin → The boss
  • Luke Hughes → The brother

Easy Rule: In English, we put the Person first and the Action second.

Quinn Hughes (Person) →\rightarrow plays (Action) very well.

Wait, what about "The Devils"? Sometimes a group (like a team) acts like one person:

The Devils (Group) →\rightarrow have (Action) two brothers.

Quick Tip for A2: To talk about your own life, use this same order:

  • I →\rightarrow study English.
  • My boss →\rightarrow works in an office.
