🗝️ The Power of 'Theirs' and 'Mine'
In the story, we see a fight over land. To move from A1 to A2, you need to show who owns what without repeating the name of the person every time.
The Pattern: Instead of saying "The land is the Waqf Board's land," we use a shorter word.
- The Board says the land is theirs. (Belongs to them)
- The families say the land is theirs. (Belongs to them)
How to use it in real life: If you see a blue bag on a table, don't say: "Is this Maria's bag?" Say: "Is this hers?"
Quick Comparison:
- Their (needs a noun) "Their land"
- Theirs (stands alone) "It is theirs"
🧱 Building a 'Cause and Effect' Sentence
Look at the phrase: "They have papers to prove it."
Beginners often write short, choppy sentences. A2 students connect a thing to a purpose.
Formula: [Action] + to + [Reason]
- I go to the store to buy milk.
- They have papers to prove the land.
- I study English to get a job.
