⚡ The 'Change' Pattern

Look at how the text describes a transformation: *"Nelly Korda changed how she thinks. She also changed how she holds..."

The Logic: When you want to say something is different now, use: Subject + changed + [thing].

Examples from life:

  • I changed my phone. \rightarrow (I have a new phone now)
  • He changed his mind. \rightarrow (He thinks differently now)
  • We changed the plan. \rightarrow (The plan is different now)

💰 Money Words

In English, we use "high" for numbers and prices, not "tall".

The prize money is very high\text{The prize money is very high} \neq The prize money is very tall\text{The prize money is very tall}

Quick Rule: Price/Level/Temperature\text{Price/Level/Temperature} \rightarrow High or Low
