💡 The 'Comparing' Trick

In the text, we see how to say something is not as much as something else. This is a key skill for A2 learners.

The Pattern: Less + Noun + than

From the text:

  • "...less memory than the first ads said."

How to use it: When you have a small amount of something (like money, time, or memory) and you compare it to another thing, use less.

  • Example A: I have less money than you.
  • Example B: This phone has less power than that phone.

🛠ī¸ Quick Word Swap: 'Late' vs 'Now'

Notice how the story moves through time:

  1. Late → Not on time. (The phones were late).
  2. Now → At this moment. (Trump Mobile is sending phones now).

If something is late, it means the time passed. If it is happening now, the wait is over.
