⚽ The 'Magic' of IS

In this story, we see a pattern: Person → IS → Description.

This is the fastest way to describe someone in English.

  • Kylian Mbappé is the captain. (Who is he?)
  • He is a great player. (What is he like?)
  • Olise is quiet. (How is he?)

How to use it: Just put IS between a person and a word that describes them.

Example from text: Mbappé \rightarrow is \rightarrow not stressed


🚀 Action Words (The 'S' Rule)

Look at how we talk about one person doing something:

  • He scores goals.
  • France has a team.

When we talk about one person (He/She), we add an -s to the action word.

Simple Pattern: I score \rightarrow He scores
