Vocabulary Learning
💡 The Power of 'NOT'
To reach A2, you must master how to say "no" in English. In this story, we see a pattern: Subject + do/does + not + action.
- They do not agree → No agreement.
- This is not true → It is a lie.
- They do not trust → No trust.
Quick Rule: Use do not for groups (They/We/You) and is not for things (This/It).
🌍 Word Connection: Money & Trade
Look at how these words work together in the text:
Buy → Corn / Wheat Trading food
Money Ships Paying for the sea
A2 Tip: Instead of just saying "money," try to say what the money is for.
Example: "I use money to buy bread."
