⚡️ The 'Action-Result' Pattern
Look at how the text describes events. It uses a very simple logic: Who did it What happened.
1. The Past Tense (Finished Actions) To talk about things that already happened, we add -ed to the action word:
- Arrest Arrested
- Kill Killed*
- Use Used*
2. Number Logic (Counting People) In A2 English, we describe groups clearly:
- One 18-year-old (Specific age)
- Five family members (Group)
- Seven people in total (The final sum)
3. Location Words Notice the word In. We use it for big places (countries/states) and small places (parking lots):
- In the USA Big
- In a school parking lot Small
