Learning

💡 The Power of "Enough"

In the text, we see: "Amazon workers do not have enough breaks."

How to use it: Put enough before a noun (a thing) to say you have the right amount.

  • Not enough →\rightarrow I need more. (Example: Not enough money)
  • Enough →\rightarrow I am okay. (Example: Enough water)

🛠ī¸ Word Switch: "Rich" vs "Billionaires"

These words are like cousins. They both talk about money, but one is a feeling and one is a number.

  • Rich →\rightarrow General word. (He is rich).
  • Billionaires →\rightarrow Specific group of people with billions of dollars. (The billionaires are at the party).

⚡ Quick Pattern: "Want to" + Action

Look at this sentence: "Jeff Bezos wants to buy magazines."

To talk about your dreams or plans, use this simple bridge: [Person] + want(s) to + [Action]

  • I →\rightarrow want to learn English.
  • He/She →\rightarrow wants to go home.
