💸 Money and Movement

The Logic: In English, we use specific words when things change owners or move from one place to another.

  • Trade \rightarrow Exchange (Person A gives a player, Person B gives a player).
  • Sell \rightarrow Give something for money.
  • Buy \rightarrow Give money for something.

The Pattern: Subject + Action Word + Object

  • The Bucks \rightarrow trade \rightarrow Giannis.
  • Other teams \rightarrow buy \rightarrow players.

⏳ 'Yet' (The Waiting Word)

Look at this sentence: "The Bucks have not traded him yet."

When you use yet at the end of a sentence, it means you expect something to happen soon. It is a 'waiting' word.

  • I have not eaten yet. (I will eat soon).
  • The team has not won yet. (They want to win soon).
