⚡ THE 'COMPARE' TRICK

In the text, we see: "she plays worse than before."

When you want to say one thing is 'more' or 'less' than another, use Comparative Words.

How it works:

  • Good → Better
  • Bad → Worse

Example Patterns:

  • This player is better than that player. \rightarrow (High quality)
  • This game is worse than the last game. \rightarrow (Low quality)

🧩 ACTION WORDS (Past vs. Present)

Notice how the story jumps between what happened and how things are now:

Past (Finished)Present (Now)
Moved \rightarrowIs \rightarrow
Changed \rightarrowPlays \rightarrow
Paid \rightarrowWants \rightarrow

Quick Tip: To talk about the past, many English words just add -ed at the end (Move \rightarrow Moved).
