⚡ The 'Money' Flow
Look at how the story talks about money. Notice these three simple directions:
1. Having it "They have no more money" 2. Giving it "The Saudi fund will stop paying" 3. Wanting it "These groups want LIV Golf to pay"
🛠️ Word Swap: 'Big' vs 'Many'
Beginners often confuse these. See the difference in the text:
- BIG (Size/Importance) Big problems, Big fight.
- MANY (Number/Count) Many workers.
Rule of Thumb: Use Big for one giant thing. Use Many for a pile of small things.
🕒 The 'Will' Jump
The text moves from the Past (2019) to the Future. When we talk about what happens next, we use WILL:
- Will stop paying (It happens later)
- Will play games (It happens later)
