Comparing Things

In the text, we see how to describe a team that is 'better' than another.

The Pattern: Better Together

  • The Wings have good players \rightarrow (Simple quality)
  • The Lynx play better together \rightarrow (Higher quality)

How it works: When you want to say something is 'more' than 'good', you don't say 'more good'. You change the word entirely:

Good \rightarrow Better


Spotting 'Not' (The Opposite)

Look at how the text says something is wrong:

  • Referees are not doing a good job.
  • Napheesa Collier cannot play.

Quick Rule: To make a sentence 'negative' (no/opposite), put not or can't before the action word.

Example:

  • I am good \rightarrow I am not good.
  • I can play \rightarrow I cannot play.
