Vocabulary Learning
💡 The Power of "Only"
In this text, we see a very useful word for A2 learners: only. It tells us that something is limited.
How it works in the story:
- "Games for only one console" → Not two, not three. Just one.
- "Only be on Xbox" → You cannot play it on PlayStation.
Easy Pattern:
Only + [Number/Thing]
Examples for you:
- I have only one brother.
- This coffee is only 2 dollars.
- I speak only English and Spanish.
🛠️ Action Words: Change & Want
Look at how the companies act:
- Want (A desire) "Companies want to make games."
- Change (A new way) "Microsoft is also changing."
Quick Tip: Use Want when you have a dream or a plan. Use Change when the old way stops and a new way starts.
