⚡️ The 'Status' Pattern

In this text, we see a simple way to describe how things are going. We use be + adjective.

  • The Good: "The Los Angeles Dodgers are the best team."
  • The Bad: "The New York Mets are doing very badly."

How to use this for A2: To describe a person or a team, just pick a feeling or a quality:

  • I am happy →\rightarrow (Positive)
  • The game is long →\rightarrow (Observation)
  • They are hurt →\rightarrow (Problem)

Look at this sentence:

"...cannot play because they are hurt."

Because is your magic word to connect two ideas.

Pattern: [Action] →\rightarrow because →\rightarrow [Reason]

  • No game →\rightarrow because →\rightarrow hurt back.
  • Buy players →\rightarrow because →\rightarrow need better pitchers.
