⚡ The 'Quick Action' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe simple actions happening now. To reach A2, you need to master how a Subject (who) does an Action (what).

Look at these patterns from the text:

  • Police \rightarrow test \rightarrow cameras
  • Car \rightarrow goes \rightarrow to places
  • Cameras \rightarrow look \rightarrow at faces
