💡 The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe people doing things in the text. We use a simple formula: Person → Action → Thing.

🛠️ Word Swap: 'Few' vs 'More'

In A2 English, we use these words to show a change in amount:

📉 Few = a small number (Example: very few seats) 📈 More = a larger number (Example: have more seats)


🔑 Key Phrase: "Want to"

When you have a goal, use Want to + Action.

"They want to join a new party."
