Vocabulary Learning
The 'Opposite' Trick
Look at how the story talks about the teams. We can use well and badly to describe how people do things.
- Good Action playing well
- Bad Action playing badly
Wait! Why not 'good'? In A2 English, we use good for things (a good game) but well for actions (they played well).
The 'Not' Switch If you don't want to say 'badly', you can use did not + a positive word:
- They played badly They did not play well
- Greenville scored few points Greenville did not score many points
Quick Examples from the Text:
- "The BlueClaws... are playing well."
