💡 The Power of 'TOO'
In the text, we see: "the houses are too small."
When we use too before an adjective, it means "more than we want" or "a problem." It is not just "very"; it is "bad."
Examples from real life:
- The house is small. (Fact → Maybe it is okay)
- The house is too small. (Problem → We need a bigger one!)
- The coffee is hot. (Fact → I can drink it)
- The coffee is too hot. (Problem → I cannot drink it!)
🛠 Word Swap: 'Bad' vs 'Poorly'
Look at how the text describes things:
- "bad houses" → (Bad + Object)
- "treat them poorly" → (Action + Poorly)
The Rule: Use Bad to describe a thing (a bad day, a bad car). Use Poorly to describe how someone does something (He sings poorly, they treat us poorly).
