⚾ The 'Again' & 'Too' Logic

When we want to say something is repeating or adding more information, we use these small words at the end of a sentence.

1. Adding More (Too)

  • The Charleston RiverDogs won their games too.
  • Meaning: Team A won + Team B won →\rightarrow Team B too.

2. Repeating (Again)

  • Kyle Teel played again.
  • Meaning: He played before →\rightarrow he played one more time.

💰 Talking About Money

In English, we put the number before the currency.

extNumber+extCurrency=extPrice ext{Number} + ext{Currency} = ext{Price}

  • 20 million dollars (Correct ✅)
  • Dollars 20 million (Wrong ❌)
