⚡ The 'Opposites' Trick

Look at how we describe things in the text. To reach A2, you need to show contrast. We use simple words to show a 'Good side' and a 'Bad side'.

The Pattern:

  • Good \rightarrow Easy
  • Bad \rightarrow Difficult

Example from text:

  • Dallas: "good and easy"
  • Boston: "difficult because the signs are bad"

🌍 Talking About the Past

Notice how the words change when the event is finished. We add -ed to the action word.

  • Visit \rightarrow Visited
  • Watch \rightarrow Watched

Watch out! Some words are rebels and change completely:

  • Go \rightarrow Went
  • Is \rightarrow Was
