Learning

🚩 The 'NOT' Rule

In English, we don't just change the verb to say 'no'. We add do not before the action.

  • Yes: They win.
  • No: They do not win.

Look at the pattern: Subject + do not + action β†’\rightarrow The Cubs do not win.

🏠 Where? (Location Words)

Notice how the text describes where the game happens:

  1. At β†’\rightarrow Used for specific places (at Truist Park).
  2. Home β†’\rightarrow Their own city.
  3. Away β†’\rightarrow A different city.

Simple Tip: Use "at" when you point to a map spot!
