📅 The 'Timeline' Words

When we talk about a schedule or a story, we use special words to show the order. Look at how the text moves from the start to the end:

  • First \rightarrow (The start) First, fans vote...
  • Then \rightarrow (The next step) Then, players vote...
  • Finally \rightarrow (The last step) Finally, the teams are ready...

💡 Quick Pattern: People vs. Things

Notice how we describe people in this text. We use "good" for the person, but "well" for the action.

  • The player is good. (Description)
  • The player plays well. (Action)

Example from text: "Corbin Carroll and Nolan Arenado play well."


🎟️ The 'Discount' Logic

Discount = A lower price.

  • The Braves give a 20% discount. \rightarrow The ticket is cheaper because you voted.
