Vocabulary Learning

📍 Talking about Where things are

In this text, we see how to describe a location using simple words. This is a key step for A2 English.

The Pattern: Person/Object \rightarrow Location

Examples from the text:

  • A dead person \rightarrow in a pool of water
  • A dead woman \rightarrow on a beach

Quick Guide:

  • Use IN when something is inside a space (a city, a pool, a room).
  • Use ON when something is touching a surface (a beach, a table, a floor).

⏳ Describing the Past vs. Now

Look at how the story changes time:

  1. Now (Present): "Police are looking for..." (They are doing it right now)

  2. Then (Past): "She disappeared in February." (It happened and it is finished)

Key Tip: To move from A1 to A2, start adding -ed to the end of action words to talk about yesterday or last month.
