🌍 Talking about Numbers and Groups

In this text, we see how to describe how many of something there are. This is a key skill for A2 English.

1. The 'More Than' Pattern When a number is higher than a specific limit, use: More than + Number.

  • More than half → (51% or more)
  • More than 11,000 → (11,001+)

2. Simple Comparisons To show how something changed over time, we can use the word double.

  • Ten years ago: 5,500 members
  • Now: 11,000 members
  • Result: This is double the size.

3. Quick Vocabulary for People Notice how the text groups people:

  • Members → People in a club.
