⚡️ Power Words: 'Very'

In English, we use very to make a word stronger. It is a simple way to describe things more clearly.

Look at these pairs from the text:

  • Hard → Very hard (More power!)
  • Good → Very good (Better than just 'good')

🛠 The 'He is' Pattern

To describe a person, use: He + is + [Description].

Examples from the story:

  • He is a pitcher.
  • He is strong.
  • He is fast.

Try it with other words:

  • He is happy.
  • He is tall.

🕒 Past vs. Now

  • Now: He is strong. (Present)
