💡 The 'Who did What' Pattern
In A2 English, we move from simple words to clear actions. Look at how these people act in the story:
- President Nawrocki took away (a medal)
- President Zelenskyy gave back (the medal)
- Russia wins (when friends fight)
Why this matters: Notice the word 'back'. We use it to show a return to the original state.
- Give Give back
- Take Take back
Common Words for People in Power:
- Leader (The boss of a group)
- President (The top leader of a country)
- Prime Minister (Another top leader)
