Vocabulary Learning
The 'Many' Rule
In the text, we see the word many used a lot. For A2 learners, this is a key tool for describing quantity.
How it works: Use many with things you can count (people, points, games).
Patterns from the text:
- Many people (Countable group)
- Many points (Countable score)
- Many games (Countable events)
- Many shots (Countable attempts)
Action Words (Present Tense)
Look at how the text describes Olivia's current life. We add an -s to the action when talking about one person (Olivia/She).
- She plays
- She scores
- She gets
If the person is not mentioned or it is 'they', the -s disappears.
- People think (No -s because 'people' is more than one).
