Vocabulary Learning
💡 THE 'TO' MAGIC
In this text, we see the word to used in two very important ways for A2 learners.
1. The 'Goal' (Purpose)
When we want to explain why someone does something, we use to + action.
- Go to universities to get a job
- Get more degrees to try and get a visa
2. The 'Place' (Direction) When we move toward a location.
- Go to US universities
- Stay in the USA (Note: we use 'in' for the city/country, but 'to' for the movement!)
⚡ QUICK VOCAB BUILDER
Instead of saying 'hard,' the text uses strict.
- Hard = Difficult to do. It is hard to find a job.
- Strict = Following rules exactly. The government is strict.
A2 Tip: Use 'strict' when talking about teachers, parents, or laws!
