πŸƒ Focus: Describing People & Abilities

To reach A2, you need to move from simple words to describing how someone does something.

1. The 'Is' vs 'Does' Pattern Look at how we describe Emmett:

  • Status: He β†’\rightarrow is fast. (A quality he has)
  • Action: He β†’\rightarrow moves well. (How he performs an action)

2. Adding Detail (The 'Very' Boost) Instead of just saying "He is fast," we use very to make the sentence stronger:

  • Fast β†’\rightarrow Very fast
  • Smart β†’\rightarrow Very smart

3. Comparing (The 'ER' Rule) When we want more than the current level, we add -er to the end of the word:

  • Fast β†’\rightarrow Faster
  • Example from text: "The team wants to run faster than before."

Quick Word List for Your Pocket:

  • Rookie: A first-year player.
  • Running back: A specific job in football.
  • Field: The place where they play.
