⚡ Comparing People & Things
In this story, we see a pattern for comparing two different things. This is a key skill for A2 English.
The Pattern:
Less + Something + Than Used for smaller amounts.
Example from the text:
"He earns less money than the old coach."
How to use it simply:
- Money: I have less money than my brother.
- Time: He has less time than me.
- Water: This glass has less water than that one.
🕒 Talking About the Future
Notice how the text talks about things that might happen later using will not and might.
- Will not (Certainty): "Cristiano Ronaldo will not play" We are sure it is a 'No'.
- Might (Maybe): "He might play in other games" It is a 'Maybe'.
Quick Tip: Use will not for a promise or a fact, and might when you are guessing.
