Learning
💡 The 'Feelings' Bridge
In this story, we see how to describe an internal state using the word feel. This is a key building block for A2 English.
1. The Basic Pattern
Person → feel → Emotion
- Beverley feels sad.
- She feels not confident.
2. Switching to 'Negative' (The No-No) To say someone is not feeling something, we use does not (or doesn't) before the action word:
- She does not feel like a full woman.
3. The 'Not' Shortcut Sometimes, we just put not before the emotion to change the meaning quickly:
- Happy not happy
- Confident not confident
Quick Vocab List from the text:
- Brave: Strong in the heart.
- Support: Helping someone when they are sad.
