⚡ The Power of 'S'

Look at how the story describes people and groups. In English, when one person or one group does something, we often add an -s to the action word.

From the text:

  • The UN tells... →\rightarrow (One group)
  • The UN says... →\rightarrow (One group)
  • The UN leader talks... →\rightarrow (One person)

Compare this to many people:

  • Two groups are fighting... (Not 'is')
  • Many people died... (Past time)

📦 Word Bundles: 'No' vs 'None'

In the text, we see: "Many people in Sudan have no food."

To reach A2, remember this simple rule: NO + Noun = Zero things.

  • No food →\rightarrow 0 bread, 0 rice.
  • No money →\rightarrow 0 dollars.
  • No time →\rightarrow 0 minutes.

🕒 The 'Now' vs 'Then' Shift

Notice how the writer changes the time of the story:

  1. The Past: "This war started in April 2023." →\rightarrow (It happened and finished).
  2. The Present: "The UN is watching El-Obeid." →\rightarrow (It is happening right now).

Key takeaway: Use -ed for things that are over, and is/are for things happening today.
