Vocabulary Learning
🧩 The 'Now vs. Usually' Switch
In this story, we see how Meta changes its behavior. This is a great way to learn how to describe routines versus current situations.
The Routine (General Truths) We use simple present for things that happen often:
- "Meta shares its code for free." (This is their normal habit).
The Exception (Right Now) We use words like now or but to show a change:
- "Now, they want to keep this code secret." (This is a new, different choice).
💡 Key Words for A2 Learners
| Word | Simple Meaning | Example from Text |
|---|---|---|
| Usually | Most of the time | "Usually, Meta shares..." |
| Soon | In a short time | "...will be ready soon." |
| Secret | Not told to others | "...keep this code secret." |
🚀 Pro Tip: To move to A2, stop using just "And." Start using "But" to show a contrast, just like the article does: "They wanted to share it soon. But now, there is no start date."
