⚡ The 'Who does What' Pattern

In English, we usually put the Person first, then the Action. Look at how this story works:

  • A company \rightarrow is selling things.
  • The money \rightarrow goes to the foundation.
  • People \rightarrow can buy art.

💡 Simple Word Swaps

To move from A1 to A2, stop using the word "thing" and use specific words.

Instead of saying: "Selling things" Say: \rightarrow "Selling awards" or "Selling photos".
