πŸ“ˆ The 'More' Pattern

In this text, the word more is used to show things are increasing. This is the easiest way to describe growth in English.

How it works: More + Noun (Thing)

Examples from the text:

  • more money β†’ πŸ’°
  • more investment β†’ πŸ“ˆ
  • more machines β†’ βš™οΈ
  • more houses β†’ 🏠
  • more jobs β†’ πŸ’Ό

Quick Tip: To move from A1 to A2, stop saying "big" for everything. If something is growing, use more.

Bad: "The city has big jobs." Good: "The city has more jobs."

Observation: Notice how the text uses 'built' and 'bought'. These are the past versions of build and buy. They describe things that already happened.
