💡 The Power of "NOT"

To move to A2, you must be able to change a sentence from Yes to No. Look at how the article does this:

  • This is fair. \rightarrow This is not fair.
  • This is true. \rightarrow This is not true.

The Simple Rule: Put not after the word is or do to flip the meaning.


📦 Word Groups: People & Places

Notice how the text connects groups. You can use this pattern to describe your own world:

Who:

  • Migrants \rightarrow People from other countries.
  • Foreigners \rightarrow People not from here.
  • Local \rightarrow People from this place.

Where:

  • Africa \rightarrow South Africa (Country)
  • Europe/Asia (Continents)

A2 Tip: Always use "the" before government (e.g., The government must help).
