🏃 The Power of 'Very'

In this text, we see a pattern to make a description stronger. We don't just say someone is fast; we say they are very fast.

How it works: Very + Adjective (a word that describes someone)

  • Fast \rightarrow Very fast (Richard Hilaire)
  • Strong \rightarrow Very strong (The Winneconne team)

📍 Where is it? (At vs. In)

Look at how the writer describes locations:

  1. At is for a specific place/building:

    • At North Central High School
    • At Veterans Memorial Stadium
  2. In is for a city, state, or country:

    • In Indiana
    • In Wisconsin

Quick Tip: Small point \rightarrow At | Big area \rightarrow In
