📈 Talking about Money

In this text, we see a very useful pattern for describing business: [Company] + [Action] + [Amount].

Look at these examples:

  • KIS →\rightarrow made →\rightarrow a lot of money.
  • Toss Securities →\rightarrow made →\rightarrow 340.5 billion won.

Simple Rule for A2: When you want to say a company earned money, use the verb 'make' in the past ('made').

Correct: "The shop made 100today."∗Wrong:∗"Theshopwon100 today." *Wrong:* "The shop won 100 today."

Opposite Words (Contrast)

Notice how the text uses 'However'. This is a 'bridge word' used to show a change in direction.

Positive Fact→HoweverextNegativeFact\text{Positive Fact} \xrightarrow{\text{However}} ext{Negative Fact}

Example: "Toss grew. However, they did not make much money from Korean stocks."

Try using it like this: "I like English. However, it is difficult."
