🌡️ The 'Very' Trick

In the text, we see very used to make words stronger. This is the easiest way to describe things at an A2 level.

  • Bad →\rightarrow Very bad (Extreme)
  • Hot →\rightarrow Very hot (Burning)
  • Fast →\rightarrow Very fast (Quickly)

Quick Rule: Put 'very' before a describing word to increase the power.

🗺️ 'There is' vs 'There are'

Notice how the writer talks about things that exist:

  1. There is →\rightarrow Use for one thing or things you cannot count (like heat or water).

    • Example: "There is a lot of heat."

  2. There are →\rightarrow Use for many things (plural).

    • Example: "There are tornadoes."
