💡 The Power of 'Enough'

In the text, we see: "there were not enough ballot papers" and "did not have enough papers."

How to use it: Use enough when you have the exact amount you need. Use not enough when you need more.

Simple Patterns:

  • Not enough + [Thing] \rightarrow Not enough water.
  • Not enough + [Thing] \rightarrow Not enough time.

🛠️ Action Words for the Past

Look at how the story describes things that already happened. The words change to show the past:

  • Quit \rightarrow Quit (Stayed the same!)
  • Stop \rightarrow Stopped (Added -ed)
  • Say \rightarrow Said (Changed shape)

A2 Tip: When telling a story about yesterday or last week, look for that -ed ending or remember the special words like said.
