Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'There is/There are' Pattern
In the text, we see: "There is no medicine..."
Use this to describe what exists (or doesn't exist) in a place. It is a foundation for A2 speaking.
How it works:
- Singular (1 thing): There is There is a hospital.
- Plural (2+ things): There are There are many people.
- Negative (0 things): There is no There is no vaccine.
🛠️ Simple Action Words (Past vs. Present)
Look at how the story changes time:
Past (Happened already):
- Got sick (not 'get')
- Broke the hospitals (not 'break')
- Died (not 'die')
Present (Happening now/General):
- Have Ebola
- Trust doctors
- Checks people
A2 Tip: To talk about the past, many words change their shape completely (like break broke). You must learn these 'special' changes by heart.
