💡 The 'People' Pattern

In this story, we see how to talk about people and what happened to them using simple words. To reach A2, you need to connect a person to an action.

1. Who they are

  • Sheila Chebii \rightarrow a student
  • Josh Warneke \rightarrow a man
  • The Police \rightarrow workers

2. Simple Past Actions (What happened) Look at these short movements in the text:

  • Fell (from fall)
  • Died (from die)
  • Put (from put)

3. The 'Want' Pattern When people need something, we use: [Person] + want + [Thing]

  • Family \rightarrow want \rightarrow information
  • Government \rightarrow want \rightarrow better tools

Quick Tip: To speak like an A2 student, don't use long words. Use 'fix mistakes' instead of 'rectify errors'.
