🌍 Mapping the World

When we talk about countries, we often use the word 'with' to show a connection or a partnership. Look at how the text connects Germany to other places:

  • Working with Mexico \rightarrow (Partnership)
  • Friends with other countries \rightarrow (Relationship)

📈 The 'More' Pattern

To move toward A2, you need to compare things. The text uses 'more' in three different ways. Notice the difference:

  1. Numbers: "More than the CDU party" (Comparing sizes).
  2. Amount: "More money and weapons" (Adding quantity).
  3. People: "More soldiers" (Increasing the count).

Rule of thumb: Use More + Noun when you want to say the amount is growing.
