🧩 The "Opposite" Logic

In English, we often use two opposite words to show a change. Look at how these teams work:

  • Added (Put in) →\rightarrow Removed (Took out)

How to use this: If you add something new, you usually remove something old.

  • Example: The team added Ryan →\rightarrow They removed Alek.

⚡ī¸ Better vs. Well

Notice how the text describes the players. We use different words depending on what we are describing:

  1. Good/Better (Describes the person) →\rightarrow "He is a good player." →\rightarrow "They have better players."

  2. Well (Describes how they play/action) →\rightarrow "He did not play well." →\rightarrow "He played well in a lower league."

Simple Rule: Person →\rightarrow Good Action →\rightarrow Well
