Vocabulary Learning
⏱️ Counting Days
In English, we use numbers to describe how long something lasts. Look at these two examples from the text:
- a four-day camp
- a three-day program
The Secret Rule: When the number and the word "day" act as a description for another word (like camp or program), we do not add an "s" to the word "day".
❌ Wrong: a four-days camp ✅ Right: a four-day camp
Try this pattern for other things:
- A ten-minute break → (10 minutes of resting)
- A two-hour movie → (2 hours of watching)
- A five-page story → (5 pages of reading)
Quick Summary: Number + Word (no 's') + Thing = Description
