Vocabulary Learning
⏳ Talking about Time and Duration
In this story, we see how to talk about years and amounts of time. This is a key skill for A2 English.
1. Using numbers for time
- 21 years in prison → (Number + time word)
- 18 years old → (Number + age word)
2. Comparing length (Short vs. Long) We use these words to say if a time is enough or not:
- Too short → Not enough time. (Example: 21 years is too short).
- More time → An increase in the amount. (Example: Give Digwa more time).
3. Past Dates When we mention a specific month and year, we just put them together:
- December 2025 → [Month] [Year]
Quick Tip: Use "too" before an adjective (like too short or too big) to show that something is a problem.
