Learning

💡 The Power of 'S'

Look at how we describe people in this story. When one person does something, the action word often needs an -s at the end. This is a key rule for A2 students.

The Pattern:

  • Jeanine Pirro says... (Correct)
  • She cares... (Correct)
  • The government punishes... (Correct)

Contrast it:

  • Some people say (More than one person →\rightarrow No 's')
  • They disagree (More than one person →\rightarrow No 's')

🚩 Word Alert: "Care about"

In the text, we see: "She does not care about these words."

extCareabout→ ext{Care about} \rightarrow To think something is important.

Examples for you:

  1. I care about my family.
  2. He does not care about the rain.
