Vocabulary Learning
💡 The "Something + Action" Pattern
In this text, we see a simple way to describe who does what. To reach A2, you need to move from single words to Subject → Action.
Look at these examples:
- Elly De La Cruz plays
- The manager says no
- Kodai Senga is getting better
The Rule of Thumb: Whenever you want to say something about a person, just put the Name/Person first, then the Action.
Vocabulary Bridge: Instead of just saying "hurt," notice how the text uses "missed games." This is a very common way to talk about time and work in English.
- Missed 44 games He was not there for 44 games.
- Missed two months He was not there for two months.
