💡 The 'State of Being' (Using Be)

In this text, we see how to describe a situation or a person. We use am/is/are to show a fact.

Examples from the news:

  • The business has problems \rightarrow The business is problematic.
  • Movie makers are angry. (People \rightarrow emotion)
  • The movie is late. (Thing \rightarrow status)

💰 Talking About Money

When we talk about costs or prices, we use specific words. Look at these patterns:

  1. Cost (The price to make something):
    • "The movie costs 4000 crore rupees."
  2. Make money (To earn profit):
    • "Movies make good money in India."

Simple Tip: Use 'Cost' for money going out \rightarrow Use 'Make' for money coming in.


🚫 The Word 'Do Not'

To say something is not happening, we put do not (or does not) before the action.

  • Owners do not want to change prices.
  • Movies do not have good roles.

Pattern: Person/Thing + do not + Action.
