πŸ’‘ The "Who Does What" Pattern

In this text, we see a repeating way to describe jobs and people. To reach A2, you need to move from simple lists to action sentences.

The Pattern: Person + Action Verb (s) + the/their + Thing

Examples from the text:

  • Thibault Sottiaux β†’ leads the main platform.
  • Nick Turley β†’ leads business tools.
  • Ashley Alexander β†’ leads tools for people.

Why this matters: Notice the -s at the end of "leads". When we talk about one person (He/She), we add an -s to the action.

Quick Rule: I lead ❌ (Incorrect for this person) He leads βœ… (Correct)

Useful A2 Vocabulary found here:

  • Leader (The person in charge)
  • Company (The business)
  • Growth (Getting bigger/better)
