💡 The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe people doing things in this story. We use a simple formula: [Person] \rightarrow [Action] \rightarrow [Object]

  • The Giants \rightarrow lost \rightarrow the game.
  • Ten couples \rightarrow said \rightarrow they love each other.
  • Three pitchers \rightarrow wrote \rightarrow Bible verses.

⚠️ Be Careful with Time (Past Tense) Since this happened in the past, the words change their endings:

  • Write \rightarrow Wrote
  • Say \rightarrow Said
  • Lose \rightarrow Lost

Quick Tip for A2: To make a sentence negative (to say someone did not do something), just add did not before the action word. The action word goes back to its normal form:

  • Sam Hentges \rightarrow did not wear \rightarrow the hat. (Not 'did not wore')
