Learning

The 'May' Magic

In the story, we see: "He may leave to work for Al-Hilal."

What is this? We use may when we are not 100% sure. It is like a guess. It is not a fact, but a possibility.

How to use it: Person + may + action

  • The manager may leave. →\rightarrow (Maybe he leaves, maybe he stays).
  • It may rain. →\rightarrow (I am not sure, but look at the clouds).

Grouping People (The 'And' List)

Look at how the text lists players:

  • "Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are leaving."
  • "Yan Diomandé, Antonio Nusa, and Allan Elias."

The Rule: When you have a list, use a comma for the first names and put and before the very last name. This tells the reader the list is finished.
