💡 The 'Opposite' Word Shift

In English, we change the ending of a word to show if something is good or bad. Look at these two words from the text:

  • Well (Good) \rightarrow "He played very well."
  • Poorly (Bad) \rightarrow "He played poorly."

How to use it: When you describe how someone does an action (like playing, working, or speaking), use these words after the action.

Quick Examples:

  • I speak English well. \checkmark
  • I speak English poorly. \checkmark

🛠️ The 'Must' Rule

When something is 100% necessary, we use Must. It is a strong word.

  • "He must get better."
  • "He must work with new players."

Simple Pattern: Person + must + action \rightarrow I must study.
