Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The "Might" Logic
In this text, we see the word might. Use this when you are not 100% sure about the future. It is like saying "maybe."
Examples from the text:
- LeBron might leave (Maybe he leaves, maybe he stays).
- Clippers might sell Kawhi (It is a possibility).
- Houston might give players (We don't know for sure).
🛠️ Action Words: Want vs. Need
Notice how the writer uses these two words differently:
- Want = A desire/wish.
- "The Lakers want a new center." (They wish they had one).
- Need = A necessity/requirement.
- "They need this player to help." (It is important for success).
💡 Quick Tip: "Still"
"...while he is still good."
Use still when a situation has not changed. Example: I am 30, but I am still a student.
