⚾ The 'Better' Pattern

In the text, we see: "He is better than he was before."

When you want to compare two things (or one person at two different times), use this simple map:

[Person/Thing] + is + [Comparative Word] + than + [Other Person/Thing]

Examples from the world:

  • This car is faster than that car.
  • English is easier than Chinese.
  • Luis is better than he was last year.

💰 Money & Time Words

Look at how the text describes the future. It uses WILL to show a plan:

  • Lara will stay \rightarrow (Future action)
  • He will get \rightarrow (Future money)

Quick Rule: Use Will + Action for things that haven't happened yet.

  • I will study.
  • The team will win.
