💡 The 'HAVE' Trick

In this story, we see how to describe what a team (or a person) possesses. At the A2 level, you must master Have vs Has.

The Pattern:

  • One team/person \rightarrow Has
  • Many teams/people \rightarrow Have

From the text:

  • The Eagles \rightarrow have strong defenders. (Plural/Group)
  • The Broncos \rightarrow have a new building. (Plural/Group)
  • The Commanders \rightarrow need (Wait! This is a different action, but follows the same rule: They need \rightarrow He needs).

🔍 Opposite Words

Look at how the text compares teams using But:

Strong defenders \rightarrow BUT \rightarrow Hurt players

When you want to show a difference, use But to connect two simple ideas.

Example:

  • I have a ball \rightarrow but \rightarrow I do not have a glove.

📅 Time Marker
