⚡️ The "Change" Words

Look at how things move from Bad → Good in this story. To reach A2, you need to describe changes using simple words.

The Pattern: [Thing] + became + [New State]

  • The weather became good.
  • The holes became easier.

Why this works: Instead of saying "It was bad and then it was good," we use became. It is a bridge word. It tells us the situation changed.

Comparison Trick: Better & Easier

Notice these words ending in -er. They compare two things:

  • Hard →\rightarrow Harder
  • Easy →\rightarrow Easier
  • Good →\rightarrow Better (Special change!)
