Introduction

Everton FC bought Tyler Dibling from Southampton. He cost about 40 million pounds. He did not play many games in his first year.

Main Body

Dibling played only a few matches. The manager, David Moyes, chose other players instead. Dibling did not play much even when another player was hurt. Dibling is a quiet person. He missed his home in the past. Also, he must learn how to defend more. Now, another player from Chelsea is also fighting for his place. However, Dibling is still good. He plays for the England Under-21 team. He played six games for his country in 2025 and 2026.

Conclusion

Everton still likes Dibling. He must work harder in training to play more games next year.

💡 The "Not" Rule

In this story, we see how to say something is not true. This is the most important part of reaching A2 level because it lets you describe what is missing or wrong.

How it works: Did + not + Action

From the text:

  • He did not play many games. →\rightarrow (He stayed on the bench)
  • Dibling did not play much. →\rightarrow (He was not on the pitch)

🛠️ Word Swap: 'Also'

When you want to add more information without starting a new sentence from zero, use Also. It's like a bridge.

  • Fact 1: He missed home.
  • Bridge: Also, he must learn to defend.

Simple Tip: Put "Also" at the start of your second idea to sound more natural in English.
