πŸ’₯ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how the story tells us what happened. It uses a very simple pattern: Who/What + Action + Who/What.

  • A van β†’\rightarrow hit β†’\rightarrow three old people.
  • A car β†’\rightarrow hit β†’\rightarrow a wall.
  • A motorcycle β†’\rightarrow hit β†’\rightarrow another car.

Why this helps you reach A2: To speak English, you don't need long sentences. You just need a Subject (the thing doing the action) and a Verb (the action).

Simple Word Bank from the text:

  • Hit: To touch something with force.
  • Died: To stop living.
  • Crashed: To hit something hard (usually a car).
  • Left: To go away from a place (e.g., left the road).

Quick Tip: Notice how "hit" stays the same whether it is one van or many vans. It is a very friendly word for beginners!
