Vocabulary Learning
🚩 The 'S' Rule for Actions
In this text, we see a pattern: India says, Pakistan uses, It does not talk.
When we talk about one person, one country, or one thing (He, She, It), we add an -s to the action word.
See the shift:
- I say India says
- They use Pakistan uses
- We want India wants
🧱 Building 'No' Sentences
To say something is NOT happening, we use does not before the action.
Crucial Point: When you use "does not," the -s disappears from the action word!
Example from the text:
- It does not talk about climate change.
- (NOT:
It does not talks)
🔑 Key A2 Words to Remember
- Agreement A formal promise between two sides.
