Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ The "Possibility" Shift
In this text, we see how to talk about things that are not 100% sure. This is a key step for A2 learners to move beyond simple facts.
The Pattern:
- Can probably → Likely to happen (Lonergan can probably play)
- Might be → Maybe / Not sure (Gordon might be too hurt)
🔄 Opposite States
Notice how the text describes people's status using simple opposites:
In Out (Tom Roebuck is in the team George Furbank is out)
🕒 The "Next" Logic
To talk about the future without using complex grammar, just use will or next:
- Will + verb: "They will play Fiji soon."
- Next + noun: "The next games."
Quick Tip: Use "will" when you are sure about a future plan!
