🏗️ The 'State of Work' Words

In this story, we see how to describe if a job is done or not. This is very important for A2 level conversations about work or school.

1. The Progress Scale

  • Finished \rightarrow 100% done. (Example: Some projects are finished.)
  • Almost finished \rightarrow 90% done. Just a little more work! (Example: Other projects are almost finished.)
  • Only [number]% finished \rightarrow A small part is done. (Example: The court is only 18 percent finished.)

2. Action Words for Planning When we talk about the future, we use these simple patterns:

  • Want to [action] \rightarrow A hope or a goal.
    • They want to finish fast.
  • Must [action] \rightarrow A rule or a necessity.
