🌍 Moving from 'Who' to 'Where'

Look at these sentences from the text:

"The Iran team must stay in Mexico."
"...cannot enter the USA."

The Rule: When we talk about countries, we usually just say the name.

The Pattern: Stay in + Country $\rightarrow$ Stay in Mexico. Enter + Country $\rightarrow$ Enter the USA.

🛑 The Power of 'Cannot'

In the story, we see:

"...cannot enter the USA."
"...cannot get visas."

Easy Logic: Can (Yes/Possible) $\rightarrow$ Cannot (No/Impossible)

Examples for your life:

I can speak English. $\rightarrow$ I cannot speak Chinese.
I can go today. $\rightarrow$ I cannot go tomorrow.
