Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Now' vs 'Then' Shift
Look at how the story moves from the past to the present. This is the secret to A2 storytelling.
The Past (Finished Actions)
- Fired → Told → Sent → Finished
- Rule: We use these words for things that are 100% over. (Example: He sent an email).
The Present (Current State/Opinion)
- Is → Changes → Thinks → Want
- Rule: We use these for things happening now or general facts. (Example: He is a good manager).
🧩 Word Building: Making things 'More'
Notice these word pairings that describe the team's goals:
Strong + Stable
In A2 English, we often pair two simple adjectives together to give a full picture. Instead of saying "The team is strong. The team is stable," we combine them: "Strong and stable."
Try this pattern:
- Fast and strong
- Good and cheap
- Happy and healthy
