💡 The 'Opposites' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe a good situation versus a bad situation. This is the fastest way to start speaking A2 English.

Positive (The 'Winning' side):

  • Doing very well →\rightarrow High success.
  • Great →\rightarrow Very good.
  • Close to winning →\rightarrow Almost there.

Negative (The 'Problem' side):

  • Hurt →\rightarrow Injured/Not okay.
  • No trophies →\rightarrow Zero success.
  • Lost →\rightarrow Did not win.
  • Lower league →\rightarrow Moving down/Falling.

Quick Rule: To change a sentence from 'Good' to 'Bad', we often change the verb or add 'no'.

  • They have trophies →\rightarrow They have no trophies.
