Vocabulary Learning

💡 The 'Strong' Pattern

In the text, we see: "the school is very strong."

When you want to describe something in a powerful way, use Very + Adjective. This is the easiest way to move from A1 to A2 English.

How it works:

  • Very + Strong → Extremely powerful
  • Very + Great → Really good
  • Very + Special → Unusual/Unique

Examples from the story:

  • Very strong (The school has power)
  • Special player (Ahmad is not normal)

⏱️ Time & Numbers

Look at this sentence: "nine new players in ten days."

To talk about how fast something happens, use: [Number] + [Thing] + IN + [Time].

  • 9 players → in → 10 days
  • 2 books → in → 1 week
  • 5 apples → in → 1 hour

Quick Tip: Use 'In' to show the limit of time! → I finished the test in 20 minutes.
