Vocabulary Learning
💡 The "Who does what" Pattern
In this story, we see a lot of actions. To move from A1 to A2, you need to connect a Person to an Action.
Look at these pairs from the text:
- Police checking
- Player hit
- Club stopped
How it works: When we talk about something happening right now or a general situation, we often use the -ing form (checking/working) or a simple action (hit/stopped).
🔑 Useful Word Pairs (Collocations)
Instead of learning one word, learn two. This makes you sound more natural:
- Bad behavior (Not 'bad acting')
- Find the truth (Not 'search the truth')
- Keep safe (Not 'make safe')
⚠️ The "Former" Trick
There is a sentence: "This player is a former police officer."
What does this mean? Former = In the past, but NOT now.
- Former teacher Was a teacher before, now is something else.
- Former player Played before, now retired.
