πŸ’‘ The 'Who' and 'What' Pattern

In this story, we see a simple way to describe people and their jobs. To reach A2, you need to connect a Person β†’\rightarrow Action/Job.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Nina Gold β†’\rightarrow casting director (She finds the actor)
  • Denis Villeneuve β†’\rightarrow director (He leads the movie)
  • Steven Knight β†’\rightarrow writer (He writes the story)

The Simple Rule: To describe someone's role, use: [Name] + is + [Job].

Quick Shift: Action Words Notice how the text uses "working on" and "looking for."

  • Looking for = trying to find something/someone.
  • Working on = spending time to finish a project.

Example: The studio is looking for a new actor. They are working on the movie.
