⚡ The 'Who Did What' Pattern

In this text, we see a very simple way to tell a story: Person + Action + Target.

Look at these examples:

  • A car (Who) \rightarrow hit (Action) \rightarrow a man (Target).
  • Two people (Who) \rightarrow hit (Action) \rightarrow a man (Target).
  • A white van (Who) \rightarrow hit (Action) \rightarrow a bike (Target).

💡 Simple Rule for A2: To describe an accident or a fight, you don't need fancy words. Just follow the path: Subject \rightarrow Verb \rightarrow Object.

Common 'Action' words from the text:

  • Hit: To touch something hard/fast.
  • Crash: Two things hitting each other.
  • Run away: To leave quickly to avoid police.
