💡 The 'Who + Must + Action' Pattern

In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about rules and obligations. When something is required by law or a boss, we use must.

🔢 Talking About Amounts

Look at how the article describes money. It doesn't just say "money," it uses a specific number and a unit.
