Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ The 'Opposite' Pattern
In the text, we see two states with different rules. This is a great way to learn how to compare things using Easy vs Strict.
- Strict Hard rules (Illinois)
- Easy Simple rules (Missouri)
How to use this in real life: If a teacher gives you a lot of homework, the teacher is strict. If the teacher lets you play games in class, the teacher is easy.
🕒 Talking about 'Now'
Look at the last sentence: "The public is safe now."
When we use now, we usually put it at the end of a short sentence to show the situation has changed.
- Before: The street was dangerous.
- Now: The street is safe now.
Quick Tip: Use "is safe now" to describe a place after a problem is finished.
