⚡ The 'Comparing' Trick

In the text, we see: "playing less than before."

When you want to compare two things in English, use [Word] + than. This is a key step for A2 learners to describe differences.

Examples from the logic of the text:

  • Better → Better than
  • Less → Less than
  • More → More than

Quick Patterns: Object A + Comparison Word + than + Object B

  • Travis plays less than he did last year.
  • The new contract is better than the old one.

🔍 Action Words (Past vs. Present)

Look at how the story changes time:

Past (Done) \rightarrow Present (Now)

  • Fired \rightarrow Are important
  • Arrested \rightarrow Are playing
  • Signed \rightarrow Have plans

Tip: To talk about the past, we often just add -ed to the action word (fire \rightarrow fired). This allows you to tell a simple story about what happened yesterday.
