Vocabulary Learning
🏁 The 'Ability' Pattern
Look at how we describe what horses can do in the text. To reach A2, you need to move from simple words to describing skills.
1. Using 'Very' + Adjective Instead of just saying "fast," use "very" to make it stronger:
- Fast → Very fast
- Good → Very good
2. The 'Good At' Trick
When someone is skilled at a specific thing or place, use this pattern:
Subject + be + good at + place/thing
Example from text: "Stockholm is very good at this place."
3. Describing Quality Notice the word Strong. In this story, it doesn't just mean muscles; it means a high chance of winning.
- "Oakfield Utah is also a strong horse."
Quick Summary for your Brain:
Very = More intensity
Good at = Skill in a location/activity
Strong = Likely to win
