⏳ Talking about Time and Dates
In this story, we see how to say when things happen. This is a key skill for A2 English.
1. The Simple Date Pattern
- September 8 [Month] + [Number]
- January 2027 [Month] + [Year]
2. Time Words
- First: The thing that happens at the beginning. (Example: Finish the state trial first.)
- Now: At this moment or the new current plan. (Example: The federal trial is now in 2027.)
3. Using 'More' for Amount When we want a larger quantity of something (like time), we use more:
- More time Extra time to work.
Quick Tip: To move from A1 to A2, stop just saying "Tomorrow" or "Monday." Start combining the Month and the Year to be more specific!
