⏱️ THE TIME LOGIC

In the story, we see how to talk about waiting and specific times.

The Pattern: from [Start Time] until [End Time]

  • Example: "He waited from 10:00 PM until 4:30 AM."

Why this helps you (A2): It connects two points in time to show a duration. It is a simple way to describe a long or short experience.

πŸ₯ 'SICKEST' β†’ THE MOST SICK

Look at the word sickest.

In English, when we want to say something is the "number one" or "top" of a group, we add -est to short words:

  • Sick β†’\rightarrow Sicker β†’\rightarrow Sickest (The person with the worst illness)
  • Fast β†’\rightarrow Faster β†’\rightarrow Fastest
  • Cold β†’\rightarrow Colder β†’\rightarrow Coldest

Rule: Use the before these words β†’\rightarrow the sickest people.
