Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Must' Rule
When something is necessary (you have no choice), we use must.
- Example: "He must play well."
How to use it:
Person → must → Action
- I must study.
- He must work.
- They must run.
📦 Comparing Things (The 'er' ending)
To say something is more than another thing, we often add -er to the end of a short word.
- Big → Bigger
- Better (This is a special word for 'Good')
From the text: "These players are bigger" → (Player A is big, but Player B is more big).
⏳ Past vs. Now
Look at how the word play changes when we talk about the past:
- Now: He plays Past: He played
If it is a 'no' in the past, we use did not:
- He did not play.
