Vocabulary Learning

💡 The Power of 'Has' and 'Have'

In this story, we see how to describe what people own or possess. This is a key step for A2 English.

The Rule:

  • He / She / It \rightarrow has
  • I / You / We / They \rightarrow have

Examples from the text:

  • "He has 96 wins." (Talking about Aidan)
  • "He has two horses." (Talking about Aidan)
  • "He has a horse named Trawlerman." (Talking about John)

🕶️ Talking about 'The Negative'

When we want to say someone cannot do something or doesn't like something, we use helper words.

Not Like \rightarrow "This horse does not like bright light." Cannot \rightarrow "He cannot wear them during the race."

Quick Tip: Use "does not" for one person/animal (He/She/It). Use "do not" for many people (They) or yourself (I).
