Vocabulary Learning
🌏 Talking About Places & Groups
In the text, we see words that describe how many or which ones. This is key for A2 English.
1. The Power of "Many" and "Some" We use these when we don't have an exact number:
- Many people → A lot of people.
- Some countries → A few countries (not all).
2. The "Will" Pattern (Future Predictions) Look at how the author talks about 2026. They use will + action:
- Teams will play (Future action)
- Companies will sell (Future action)
- Spain will win (A guess about the future)
3. Quick Contrast: Big vs. Expensive
- Big/Large: Describes the size (The tournament is big).
- Expensive: Describes the money (Tickets are expensive).
💡 Pro Tip: To sound more like an A2 speaker, stop saying "very big" every time. Try using "large" or "huge" instead!
