Vocabulary Learning

💡 The Power of 'Not'

In the text, we see how to say someone is not something. This is a key way to describe people at an A2 level.

How it works: Person + is not + Place/Category

From the story:

  • O.J. Simpson \rightarrow is not on any list.

Try these simple patterns:

  • I \rightarrow am not a player.
  • He \rightarrow is not in the stadium.
  • They \rightarrow are not on the wall.

🗝️ 'Few' vs 'Many'

These words tell us about the amount of things.

  • Many = A lot (High number) \rightarrow "Many legal problems"
  • Fewer = A smaller number than before \rightarrow "The new stadium has fewer names"

Quick Tip: Use fewer when you can count the things (like names, apples, or books).
