💡 The Magic of "S"

In this story, we see a pattern when talking about one person (He, She, or a Name). The action word gets an -s at the end.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Jackie has problems. (Not have)
  • Daniel helps Jackie. (Not help)
  • The company says... (Not say)

The Simple Rule: One person \rightarrow add -s Many people \rightarrow no -s


🚩 Spotting the "Opposite"

Notice how the movie describes two different opinions. We use Some and Other to show a contrast:

Some people\text{Some people} like it\text{like it} \leftrightarrow Other people\text{Other people} dislike it\text{dislike it}
