⚽ Counting Success
Look at how we describe results using Numbers + Nouns:
Five balls→ 5 objectsTwo players→ 2 people
The Pattern: Comparing Quantities When we compare two people, we use "but" to show the difference in their scores:
Blake: Five went in. But Spencer: Three went in.
Simple Word Swap
Instead of saying "the person who kicks the ball," we use one specific word:
Kicker
Quick Tip for A2:
To say someone is the best, use better when comparing two people.
- Example: Blake was better than Spencer.
