💰 The 'Money' Pattern

In this story, we see a very common way to describe why something happens. Look at these sentences:

  • "...they did it for money."
  • "...attackers want money from him."

How to use this at A2 level: When you want to explain a goal or a reason, use FOR + [the thing you want].

Examples:

  • I study English \rightarrow for a job.
  • He goes to the gym \rightarrow for health.
  • She works \rightarrow for money.

📍 Who owns what?

Notice how the text describes people and their things:

  • "Rattan owns hotels."
  • "Arvinder is the leader of Cricket Canada."

To reach A2, stop saying "He has a hotel" and start using owns for businesses or buildings. It makes your English sound more natural.

Quick Tip:

  • Person \rightarrow owns \rightarrow Business/House/Car.
