⚡ The 'Power' Words

Look at how we describe the players. We use simple words after is or are to show a quality:

  • Good → High quality
  • Fast → High speed
  • Strong → High power
  • Big → High size

How it works: Person + is/are + Quality

Example from text: "He is very fast and strong."


🧩 Connecting Ideas

To add more information, we use and or too.

  1. And: Connects two similar things. (Fast and strong)
  2. Too: Goes at the end to mean "also". (...have new players too)

🕰️ The 'Before' Rule

Check the last sentence: "...practice for a long time before they play."

Use before to show the order of events: Action A \rightarrow before \rightarrow Action B
