Vocabulary Learning
🏀 Dealing with 'Possibility'
In this story, things aren't certain. We use two special words to show this: May and Might.
- May Something is possible. (Example: Giannis may leave the Bucks.)
- Might Also means it is possible, often used for guesses. (Example: They might trade Sabonis.)
Quick Rule: After these words, just use the action word (verb) in its simplest form. No "to", no "-ing".
💰 Money & Costs
Notice how the text talks about money:
- "Spend less money" Pay a smaller amount.
- "Costs too much" The price is too high.
📋 The 'Want' Pattern
To reach A2, you must master how to say you desire something. Look at these examples from the text:
- Want + Person/Thing: "Many teams want Giannis."
- Want + Action: "The Bucks want a decision."
- Want + To + Action: "The Thunder want to keep their player."
Notice: When we use another action, we add 'to' after 'want'.
