⚡️ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe what people did in the story. We use Simple Past verbs to tell a sequence of events.

Examples from the text:

  • He \rightarrow took off \rightarrow his microphone
  • He \rightarrow left \rightarrow the room
  • She \rightarrow asked \rightarrow him

💡 Vocabulary Swap

To move from A1 to A2, use more specific words for 'feelings' and 'opinions':

  • Instead of 'sad/mad' \rightarrow Angry
  • Instead of 'funny' \rightarrow Mean (when it's not nice)
  • Instead of 'not good' \rightarrow Important (used here to say someone doesn't matter)

🛠 Quick Tip: 'Another'

In the last sentence, we see: "the President will do another interview soon."

Use another when you mean: One more of the same thing. One interviewextAnotherinterview\text{One interview} \rightarrow ext{Another interview}
