🕒 The 'Time' Pattern

In English, we use specific words to say when things happen. Look at these examples from the text:

  • On Sunday \rightarrow (Days of the week use 'on')
  • At 1:35 PM \rightarrow (Exact times use 'at')
  • This year \rightarrow (General time periods often use no preposition)

🛠️ Word Building: The 'Care' family

One word in the text is caregiver. Let's break it down so you can make new words:

  1. Care (The feeling/action) \rightarrow Take care of the baby.
  2. Caregiver (The person who does the action) \rightarrow The caregiver is with the child.
  3. Careful (The adjective/description) \rightarrow Be careful with the car.

⚠️ Simple Warning

Notice the phrase: "No one is in jail now."

In English, "No one" means zero people.

  • No one is here \rightarrow 0 people are here.
  • No one is in jail \rightarrow 0 people are in jail.
