⚡ The 'Action' Secret

Look at how the text describes things happening now. This is the easiest way to speak about your life today.

The Pattern: Subject + Action →\rightarrow Object

Examples from the text:

  • Students →\rightarrow take →\rightarrow tests.
  • Police →\rightarrow use →\rightarrow technology.
  • Universities →\rightarrow teach →\rightarrow new things.

🛠️ Words for 'Things'

To reach A2, you need 'category' words. These words describe groups of items. From this story, we find:

  1. Tools: Cameras, gates, smartwatches, glasses.
  2. Subjects: Math, English, Science, History.
  3. People: Students, parents, police.

⚠️ The 'Cannot' Rule

When you want to say something is forbidden, use Cannot + Action.

Students cannot bring smartwatches.

Try it in your head:

  • I →\rightarrow cannot →\rightarrow sleep.
  • You →\rightarrow cannot →\rightarrow enter.
