Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Quantity' Logic
In this text, we see how to talk about numbers getting smaller or larger. This is a key skill for A2 English.
1. The 'Comparison' Word
- Fewer → used for things we can count (like hurricanes or storms).
- Lower → used for levels or numbers on a scale.
Example from text: "These numbers are lower than before."
2. Predicting the Future When we are not 100% sure, we use may. It is softer than will.
- Will = Sure (100%) → "There will be nine storms."
- May = Possible (50%) → "The Caribbean may still get storms."
3. Useful Word Pairs
- Strong winds → Powerful air
- Quiet season → Not many storms
