⚡ The "Action-Result" Pattern

Look at how we describe things happening in the story. We use a Simple Action \rightarrow Direct Result.

1. Simple Past Actions We use these words to talk about things that are finished:

  • Hit (A bus hit a truck)
  • Went (A car went into water)
  • Stopped (A bus stopped fast)

2. Connecting the Cause Notice the word because. It is the bridge between the what and the why.

Action: The driver was arrested \rightarrow Why: because he drove badly.

3. A2 Word Bank: Size & Quantity To reach A2, stop using just "big" or "small." Use these from the text:

  • Many (A lot of people)
  • Few/Numbers (Five accidents, thirteen people)
  • Small (Electric bike)
  • Big (Bus)
