🛠 The 'Action' Connection

Look at how the text describes the company. It uses simple patterns to show what the business does. This is the fastest way to move from A1 to A2: Subject + Simple Action + Object.

Example Patterns:

  • SK Hynix (Who) \rightarrow sells (Action) \rightarrow chips (What).
  • Nvidia (Who) \rightarrow buys (Action) \rightarrow chips (What).

💰 Money Words

In this story, we see three different ways to talk about money. Use these instead of just saying "money":

  1. Shares: Small pieces of a company you can buy.
  2. Worth: The value of something (e.g., The company is worth more).
  3. Market: The place where people buy and sell these things.

🚀 The 'Future' Tool

To talk about plans, the text uses "will". It is a magic word that pushes the action into the future:

  • Use \rightarrow will use (Plan for the money)
  • Buy \rightarrow will buy (Plan for machines)

Quick Tip: Don't change the action word after "will". Keep it simple!
