🧩 The 'Likes' Logic

Look at how we talk about things people enjoy or dislike in this story:

Positive (+) $\rightarrow$ "Prince William likes football."
Negative (-) $\rightarrow$ "King Charles does not like football."

Why this matters for A2: When you talk about a third person (He/She/It), you must add an -s to the action word.

Quick Comparison:

I like $\rightarrow$ He likes
I love $\rightarrow$ He loves
I want $\rightarrow$ He wants

🌍 Comparing Two Things

The text says: "The two countries are like brothers."

In this sentence, "like" is not an action. It is a way to show two things are similar.

Pattern: [Thing A] + [is/are] + like + [Thing B]. Example: This city is like a jungle.
