The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how these sentences work. They all use a simple pattern: Who \rightarrow Does \rightarrow What.

  • Police \rightarrow found \rightarrow guns.
  • The US \rightarrow arrested \rightarrow a man.
  • Bad people \rightarrow used \rightarrow the internet.

Why this helps you: To speak English at an A2 level, you don't need long sentences. You just need this 3-part chain.

Quick Word Swap: Change the 'Who' to change the story:

  • Police found guns \rightarrow I found guns.
  • The US arrested a man \rightarrow They arrested a man.

Key Word Alert: Paid = gave money for a job. Arrested = police took them to jail.
