💡 The 'Possibility' Word: MAY

In the text, we see: "Poland may do this too."

When we aren't 100% sure if something will happen, we use may. It is like saying "maybe."

Easy Examples:

  • It may rain tomorrow. → (I don't know for sure, but it's possible).
  • I may go to the park. → (I am thinking about it, but I haven't decided).

📦 Grouping People (The Word 'EACH')

Look at this phrase: "look at each person one by one."

Use each when you want to talk about every single person or thing in a group separately, not as one big mass.

Quick Rule:

  • Each + Singular Word (Person, Day, Book).
  • Example: Each student has a book. → (Student 1 has a book, Student 2 has a book...)

🛠️ Building Sentences: 'Want' + 'To'

"The EU wants to change the rules."

To talk about a goal or a desire, follow this simple path: Someone \rightarrow wants \rightarrow to \rightarrow Action.

  • I want to sleep.
  • He wants to eat.
  • They want to help.
