🚩 The 'S' Rule: One vs. Many

Look at how we talk about teams and things in this story. To move to A2, you must notice the difference between one thing and many things.

1. Single (No 's')

  • The big trophy (1 prize)
  • One game (1 match)
  • The top team (1 group)

2. Plural (Add 's')

  • Final games (2, 3, or 10 matches)
  • Many points (lots of scores)
  • Two great pitchers (2 people)

💡 Fast Tip: When you see words like many, two, or some, you usually need that 's' at the end of the word → many points, some teams.
