Vocabulary Learning

The "Not" Pattern

In English, we use not to change a 'Yes' sentence into a 'No' sentence. Look at how the article does this:

  • He is strong →\rightarrow He is not strong
  • He costs much money →\rightarrow He does not cost much money
  • He can play →\rightarrow He cannot play

Quick Rule:

  • If you see is/are/can, just put "not" after it.
  • If you see a normal action (like cost), use does not.

Word Pairs: The "More" Logic

To get to A2, you need to describe amounts. The article uses more to show that the team is not finished.

Current Players→+More Players\text{Current Players} \xrightarrow{+} \text{More Players}

  • More players for the defense
  • More receivers

When you want a bigger number of something, just put more before the name of the thing.
