Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ The 'Comparison' Secret
To reach A2, you need to describe people and things. Look at how the team describes their ideal players:
- Taller (Tall → Taller)
- Stronger (Strong → Stronger)
How it works: When you want to say someone has more of a quality, just add -er to the end of the short word.
🧩 Word-Pairing: Who is doing what?
Notice how the text connects people to their status. This is a simple way to build sentences:
- Player is a great player
- Coaches are now on the team
Rule of thumb: Use is for one person (Mikel Brown) and are for more than one (John and Sean).
