πŸ›‘ Stop vs. Cannot

In the text, we see two ways to say 'No'.

1. Stop (Action) Example: "Wrestling Group Stops Vinesh Phogat" β†’ Use this when someone ends an activity.

2. Cannot (Ability/Permission) Example: "Vinesh Phogat cannot fight" β†’ Use this when it is impossible or not allowed.

πŸ“ The 'S' Rule for People

Look at how the words change when we talk about one person or one group:

  • The WFI says... (One group)
  • She says... (One woman)
  • Phogat says... (One person)

Pattern: Person β†’\rightarrow Verb + s

πŸ’‘ Simple Words for Problems

Instead of hard words, use these from the text:

  • Wrong (Not right) β†’\rightarrow "Wrong weight"
  • Fair (Honest/Equal) β†’\rightarrow "Not fair to mothers"
  • Hurt (Damage) β†’\rightarrow "Hurt the sport"
