💸 Talking about Money

In this text, we see two ways to talk about cost. One is for the price (the tag) and one is for the action (spending).

The Pattern:

  • Costs → used for the object. (The console costs $239).
  • Pay → used for the person. (You can pay more money).

Quick Guide: Object \rightarrow Costs \rightarrow Price Person \rightarrow Pay \rightarrow Money


🕒 Then vs. Now

Look at how the text changes time:

  • Before: $299 (Past)
  • Now: $239 (Present)

When you move from Before to Now, the verb changes from cost (past) to costs (present).

  • Before, it cost... \rightarrow No 's'
  • It costs now... \rightarrow Add 's'
