💡 THE 'DO NOT' PATTERN

In the text, the author tells you what not to do. This is a very important way to give advice in English.

The Rule: Do not + Action Word $\rightarrow$ Stop this action.

Examples from the text:

• Do not just think $\rightarrow$ (Start doing instead)
• Do not move too fast $\rightarrow$ (Slow down)
• Do not make fast choices $\rightarrow$ (Think more)
• Do not start fights $\rightarrow$ (Stay peaceful)

🛠️ BUILDING SIMPLE SENTENCES

Notice how the article uses short, clear blocks to explain ideas. This is the best way to speak at an A2 level.

Pattern: Subject + Verb + Adjective/Noun

1. The moon (S) $\rightarrow$ was (V) $\rightarrow$ in Taurus (N).
2. This (S) $\rightarrow$ makes (V) $\rightarrow$ people talk fast (Adj/Phrase).
3. Your mind (S) $\rightarrow$ stays (V) $\rightarrow$ clear (Adj).

Tip: If you want to be understood, don't use long sentences. Use a full stop (.) and start a new one.
