The "Choice" Pattern

When we talk about decisions in the past, we use these two patterns:

1. Positive Decision

  • He decided to join. \rightarrow (He said "Yes")
  • He chose Oregon. \rightarrow (He picked this one)

2. Negative Decision

  • He did not choose. \rightarrow (He said "No")

Vocabulary spotlight: Sport Roles Instead of just saying "player," use these specific words to sound more like an A2 speaker:

  • Safety (Defensive role)
  • Receiver (Offensive role)
  • Defensive line (A group of players)

Quick Rule: In English, we use "Another" when we add one more person to the list. Example: "Josh is another player."
