Vocabulary Learning

⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see a common way to describe how things change in a business or a team.

Key Word: "Bring in" Instead of just saying "get," we use bring in when someone adds new people to a group.

  • The team brings in new players \rightarrow They add new people.
  • The coach brings in older players \rightarrow He adds experienced people.

💰 Talking about Needs

When we talk about money and requirements at an A2 level, we use "Need + [Something] + To + [Action]".

Example from text: "They need this money to pay their athletes."

Breakdown:

  1. Need (The requirement)
  2. This money (The thing)
  3. To pay (The reason/goal)

Try this logic:

  • I need a pen \rightarrow to write.
  • She needs a car \rightarrow to go to work.
