⚡ The 'Opinion' Pattern
When people argue, they use specific verbs to show what they think. Look at these two ways from the text:
1. Saying it directly
- "Sunitha said..."
- "Chinmayi says..."
2. Showing a belief
- "She thinks..."
- "She believes..."
The Difference →
Said/Says is for the words coming out of the mouth.
Thinks/Believes is for the idea inside the head.
🛠️ Word Shift: Now vs. Then
Notice how the story changes time:
- Past (Finished): Sunitha said... She wrote... (Happened yesterday/before).
- Present (General Truth): She says... She respects... (This is how she feels now).
Quick Tip: To move from A1 to A2, stop using only "is/are." Use action words like disagree, control, and follow to make your sentences stronger.
