📚 The Power of 'CANNOT'

How to use it: Subject + cannot + Action (Verb) \rightarrow I cannot swim.


🌍 Grouping Countries

Look at how the text lists places. When we talk about similar things, we use 'like' to give examples.

Other countries like Finland and Denmark...

Simple Rule: [Category] + like + [Example 1], [Example 2] \rightarrow Fruits like apples and bananas.


⚖️ The 'But' Shift

When the writer changes the idea from 'Yes' to 'No', they use But.
