💰 The 'Money & Possession' Pattern

In this text, we see how to talk about owning things and paying for them. This is key for A2 level conversation.

1. Having something (Possession)

  • «Diaz has a contract» \rightarrow Use has for one person.
  • «They want new players» \rightarrow Use want when you desire something you don't have.

2. The Cost (Money)

  • «He costs 60 million euros» \rightarrow Use costs to talk about the price of a person or object.

3. Action \rightarrow Result

  • Sell players \rightarrow Get money \rightarrow Buy new players

Quick Note: Notice the word «until». It tells us when a contract ends (Until 2027 / Until 2029). It is a time bridge.
