Introduction

The Baltimore Ravens signed Diego Pavia. He is a quarterback from Vanderbilt University. He has a three-year contract.

Main Body

Diego Pavia did not get a team in the NFL Draft. The Ravens did not pay him a bonus. This means the team does not lose money if he is not good. Pavia played very well at his college. He threw the ball for many yards and scored many points. But some scouts thought he was too short and too old. Now, Pavia must play well to keep his job. He is fighting with another player, Joe Fagnano, for a spot on the team. He must make fast and correct decisions.

Conclusion

Pavia is now behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on the team list.

⚡ The 'NOT' Trick

In English, we use did not to talk about things that didn't happen in the past. Notice how the action word changes back to its simplest form:

  • Did not get (Not 'did not got')
  • Did not pay (Not 'did not paid')

Pattern: Did not → Simple Action

🧊 Describing People (Too Much!)

When something is a problem because there is too much of it, we use too + adjective:

  • Too short →\rightarrow Not tall enough for the job.
  • Too old →\rightarrow More years than the team wants.

Quick List:

  • Too hot →\rightarrow 🥵
  • Too cold →\rightarrow 🥶
  • Too slow →\rightarrow 🐢
