⚡ Quick Logic: The 'S' for People
Look at how the story talks about people and things. In English, when we talk about one person or one company, we often add an -s to the action word.
From the text:
- The company stops → Wrong (The text says "stopped" because it happened in the past, but let's look at the present).
- The AI is not safe.
- The boss says no.
The Pattern: One Person/Thing Action + s
Examples for you:
- He says (He tells us something)
- She works (She has a job)
- It helps (The AI gives an answer)
🛠️ Word Switch: Past vs. Now
Notice how the story changes time. This is the key to A2 English.
Past (It happened already):
- killed (not kill)
- wanted (not want)
- said (not say)
Now (General truth):
- is (It is safe/unsafe)
- pay (Companies must pay)
Simple Rule: Add -ed to the end of the word to move it to yesterday. Example: Want Wanted
