📅 THE 'DAY' PATTERN
Look at how the text talks about time:
- Tuesday and Sunday
- Saturday
- Friday
- Wednesday
The Secret: In English, we always use 'on' before a day of the week.
Examples from the text: \text{play } \rightarrow \text{ on Sunday}
Quick Rule for A2: If you see a day (Monday, Tuesday, etc.), put ON in front of it.
🚫 SAYING 'NO'
Notice this phrase: "do not play"
To say a team (or a person) does not do something, we use this simple bridge: [Person/Team] do not [Action]
- The Royals do not play
- The Phillies do not play
