Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Better' Logic
In this story, we see words used to compare things. To get to A2, you need to know how to say something is more than another thing.
The Pattern:
Good → Better
How it works in the text:
- "David Peterson did not play very well... They think Peterson will play better with their team."
Simple Rule: When you compare two situations (The Mets vs. The Cubs), you don't say "more good." You change the word entirely to better.
Other useful 'Action' words from the text:
- Traded (Give one thing, get another thing) The teams traded players.
- Moving (Going to a new place) Players are moving to new schools.
- Winning (Being the best in a game) The Mets are not winning many games.
