🟢 The 'Good vs. Bad' Switch

Look at how the story describes the golf players. We use different words depending on if we describe a person or an action.

1. Describing the Person (The Quality)

  • "Nelly Korda is the best player."
  • "Aki Iwai is the leader." → Use these to say who someone is.

2. Describing the Action (The Way they play)

  • "She played well."
  • "She played badly." → Use these to say how someone does something.

Quick Tip: The 'ly' trick When you see -ly at the end of a word (like badly), it usually tells us how the action happened, not what the person is like.

Opposites in this story:

  • Well \rightarrow Badly
  • Best \rightarrow Far from the lead
