Learning
𧊠The "Who does what" Pattern
Look at how we describe people and their jobs in this text. At A2 level, you need to connect a Person Action/Role.
1. The Action Link
- Purdue hired a new coach (Organization + Action + Person)
- Ryan Browne is the main quarterback (Person + Identity)
2. The 'Better' Shift Notice how the text describes improvement. To reach A2, stop using only "good." Use these combinations:
- Make... better "Make the line better"
- Teach... better skills "Teach the players better skills"
3. Counting People When we talk about groups, we use simple numbers + nouns:
- Nine new players (Total)
- Five players (From colleges)
- Four players (New students)
Quick Tip: To talk about your own life, use this pattern:
[My company/school] hired [Name]. He is a [Job].
