⚡ The 'Number' Pattern

In this text, we see numbers used to describe how many things exist. This is a key skill for A2 English.

How to use it:

  • Number + Noun (Thing)
  • Ten \rightarrow players
  • Three \rightarrow players
  • Number 19 \rightarrow rank

🛠️ Word Swap: 'New'

Notice how the word "new" describes different things. It always comes before the object:

  1. New \rightarrow news (Information)
  2. New \rightarrow players (People)

Simple Rule: If you want to describe something, put the describing word first!

Example: Blue car, Big city, New player.
