⚡ The 'Contrast' Pivot
In this story, we see a big change: "They were winning at first, but then they played poorly."
The Logic: Use BUT to connect two opposite ideas. It is the simplest way to move from a 'Good' thing to a 'Bad' thing (or vice versa).
Examples from the text:
- Winning → BUT → Played poorly
- Professional team → BUT → Needs to play better
A2 Quick-Build:
- I like basketball but I am not tall.

- She is a star but she is unhappy.
📦 Word Groups: 'People' vs 'Groups'

|---|---|
| Scott Agness He cannot come | |
| The Fever They lost | |
| Caitlin Clark She argues | |
