💡 The 'Too' Trick

In this text, we see a pattern: Too + Adjective.

When we use "too," it means there is a problem. It is more than what we want.

  • Too expensive → Costs too much money (Bad)
  • Too far → A long distance, hard to travel (Bad)

How to use it for A2: If something is a problem, put "too" before the describing word.

  • The coffee is too hot. (I cannot drink it) \rightarrow The room is too small. (I cannot fit)

🏗️ Building a Sentence

Look at how the text describes the government: They \rightarrow will spend \rightarrow more money.

Simple Pattern: [Person/Group] + [Action] + [Thing].

  1. They (The government)
  2. will spend (Future action)
  3. more money (The object)
