🌡️ Talking about 'Too Much'

In the text, we see the phrase: "if it is too hot."

When we use too, it means something is a problem. It is more than we want.

Examples from the story:

  • Too hot \rightarrow Dangerous for riders.
  • Too many fires \rightarrow Bad for safety.

How to use it in your life:

  • This coffee is too hot. (I cannot drink it!)
  • This shirt is too big. (It does not fit me.)
  • The bus is too slow. (I am late!)

👕 Who owns what?

Look at the sentence: "His team helped him win."

We use His because Tadej Pogacar is a man.

  • Man \rightarrow His (His jersey, his bike, his team)
  • Woman \rightarrow Her (Her jersey, her bike, her team)

Quick Tip: Use these words to show who the object belongs to without saying the person's name every time.
