Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'More' Pattern
In this text, we see a simple way to compare things using the word more. For A2 learners, this is the key to describing changes.
How it works in the story:
- More than in previous years (Higher number now than before)
- More women died than men (Women count > Men count)
The Golden Rule: Use More [Noun] + than to show a bigger amount.
Quick Examples for You:
- More water Less water
- More heat Less heat
- More people Fewer people
🗓️ Time Blocks
Notice how the article groups time. Instead of just dates, it uses 'blocks':
- Between April and June (A start and an end)
- The last two weeks of June (A specific part of a month)
Try this logic:
Between [Month A] and [Month B] This covers the whole period.
