💸 Talking about Money & Value

In this story, we see how to describe a company's worth and its growth. For an A2 learner, the most useful pattern here is using 'Worth' and 'Got'.

1. The Magic Word: "Worth" We use "worth" to say how much something costs in total.

  • Example: "The company is worth 11 billion dollars."
  • Pattern: [Subject] + [is/are] + worth + [Amount].

2. Simple Getting: "Got" Instead of using hard words like "acquired" or "received," we use got.

  • Example: "The company just got 1 billion dollars."
  • Pattern: [Subject] + got + [Amount].

🕒 The "Future Plan" Pattern

Look at how the text talks about 2026:

"They will make another product... in 2026."

When you know the exact year or a future fact, use Will + Action.

  • SambaNova →\rightarrow will make →\rightarrow SN50
  • Company →\rightarrow will sell →\rightarrow shares

Quick Tip: Use this for any promise or future goal! →\rightarrow "I will learn English."
