Vocabulary Learning
💰 The 'Money' Pattern
In this text, we see a pattern for talking about spending and getting money. For an A2 learner, the most important thing is knowing which verb goes with which noun.
1. Giving Money (Spending)
- Spend money
- Cost money
Example from text: "Companies are spending a lot of money." Example from text: "It costs a lot of money."
2. Getting Money (Earning/Collecting)
- Sell shares (to get money)
- Buy companies (using money)
3. Quick Vocabulary Shift Instead of saying "very expensive," you can say "costs a lot of money." Both are correct, but using the verb cost helps you build better sentences.
💡 Pro Tip: Notice how the text uses "their own" (their own technology, their own chips). Use this when you want to say something belongs specifically to a person or a country.
