⚡ The 'Good vs. Bad' Shift

Look at how the story describes the players. To move to A2, you must know how to change a word to describe a person instead of an action.

The Pattern:

  • Action (Adverb): How they played \rightarrow badly / poorly / better
  • Person/Thing (Adjective): What they are \rightarrow bad / healthy / hot

Examples from the text:

  • "Both teams had bad pitchers." (Describing the people)
  • "He played poorly." (Describing the action)
  • "The Pirates' pitcher played badly." (Describing the action)
  • "Paul Skenes needs to play better." (Comparing the action)

Quick Rule: If you describe HOW something happens, add -ly (Bad \rightarrow Badly). If you describe WHO or WHAT, keep it simple (The weather was hot).
