Vocabulary Learning
⏳ The 'Time & Rules' Pattern
In this text, we see how to talk about requirements (things you must do) and time. This is a key jump from A1 to A2.
1. The Power Word: MUST When something is a rule, we use must. It is stronger than should.
- Drivers must see a doctor It is a law.
- Drivers must take a test There is no other choice.
2. Grouping Ages Notice how the text describes groups of people. Instead of saying "The driver is 65," it uses a range:
- Drivers aged 65 to 67 This includes 65, 66, and 67.
3. Time Limits (The License Logic) Look at the relationship between age and time:
- 65-67 3 years
- 68-69 2 years
- 70+ 1 year
Quick Tip: To reach A2, stop using only "I am..." and start describing groups using "Drivers who..." or "People aged..."
