🛑 Stop vs. Cannot
Look at how the text talks about things that are not allowed:
- "People cannot use fireworks" It is impossible or forbidden.
- "Spencer Cox stopped fireworks" He made a rule to end the action.
Simple Rule: Use cannot for a general lack of permission. Use stopped when a boss or leader ends an activity.
🌲 The 'Very' Boost
To reach A2, stop using just "dry" or "strong." Use very to make the meaning powerful:
- Dry Very dry (Danger!)
- Strong Very strong (Powerful wind!)
