Main Body

💡 The 'Possibility' Words

In the story, we see two words used to talk about things that are not 100% certain:

  1. May →\rightarrow "It may cost $1.5 billion."
  2. Might →\rightarrow "The game might cost $80."

The Secret: For an A2 learner, you can use these two words almost exactly the same way. They both mean "maybe."

How to use them:

  • [Subject] + [May/Might] + [Action]
  • Example: I might go to the store. →\rightarrow (Maybe I will go).

đŸ› ī¸ Useful 'Change' Words

Look at how the text describes things moving up or down:

  • Went down →\rightarrow "The stock price went down." (Decrease ↓\downarrow)
  • Come out →\rightarrow "The game will come out." (Release/Appear ext→ ext{→})

These are 'Phrasal Verbs.' Don't let the name scare you; just treat them as single action words!
