⚡ The Power of 'Very' and 'Also'

In English, we use small words to change how strong a sentence is. This is how you move from basic to A2 level.

1. Making things stronger Instead of just saying "They are playing well," we add very to show a high level.

  • Playing well \rightarrow Playing very well.
  • Good choice \rightarrow Very good choice.

2. Adding more information When you have a list of good things, use also to connect them.

  • James Wood is playing well.
  • Willson Contreras is also a good choice.
