Vocabulary Learning
💡 THE 'STATE' OF BEING
In this text, we see a very important pattern for A2 learners: how to describe a person's condition using the word BE.
The Pattern:
Person + be (am/is/are) + Condition/Feeling
Examples from the text:
- Players are hurt. (Many people)
- Ohtani has a hurt knee. (He owns the injury)
- He will be healthy. (Future state)
- Players are strong. (General quality)
Quick Logic Shift: Notice the difference between having a problem and being a problem:
- BE Describes the person: "Aaron Judge is hurt."
- HAVE Describes the body part: "Ohtani has a hurt knee."
Vocabulary for your A2 toolkit:
- Hurt (Injured)
- Healthy (Not sick/hurt)
- Strong (Powerful)
