🌏 Talking About Places

Look at these sentences:

  • "The World Cup is in the USA."
  • "Australia is now in the round of 32."

The Secret: We use 'in' for cities, countries, and groups. It is like a big box. Everything inside the box uses 'in'.

→ USA (Country) \rightarrow in the USA → Mexico (Country) \rightarrow in Mexico → Round of 32 (Group/Stage) \rightarrow in the round


📉 Making Things Negative

To say 'no' or 'not', we usually add do not before the action word.

  • Positive: Referees use it.
  • Negative: Referees do not use it.

Quick Tip: If you want to say something is not happening or not true, put 'do not' before the action.

→ I use \rightarrow I do not use → They play \rightarrow They do not play
