Vocabulary Learning
⛈️ The 'Still' and 'Yet' Trick
In the text, we see how to talk about things that haven't happened. This is a key jump for A2 students.
1. Not... yet Example: "It is not raining in the north yet." → Use this for something you expect to happen soon. → Pattern: Not + [Action] + yet.
2. Still Example: "North India is still hot." → Use this for a situation that continues and does not change. → Pattern: [Subject] + is/am/are + still + [Adjective].
📍 Locations: Using 'In' vs 'On'
Look at where the rain is:
- In Mumbai / In the north / In July → Use IN for cities, regions, and months.
- On the streets / On June 24 → Use ON for specific dates and surfaces.
Quick Tip: Month → In (In July) Date → On (On July 1st)
