πŸ’‘ Spotting the 'Now' vs 'Not'

In this story, we see how to describe things happening right now and things that are not happening. This is the fastest way to start speaking A2 English.

1. The 'Is/Are' Pattern (Current State) We use these words to describe a situation today:

  • The weather is bad. β†’\rightarrow (One thing/singular)
  • 72 golfers are playing. β†’\rightarrow (Many things/plural)

2. The 'Do Not' Pattern (The Negative) When we want to say someone is not doing an action, we use do not:

  • Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson do not play. β†’\rightarrow (Action is missing)

3. Word Power: Simple Descriptors Notice how the text uses simple words to give a strong picture:

  • Long and Difficult β†’\rightarrow describes the course.
  • Best β†’\rightarrow describes the top player.

Quick Tip: To move to A2, stop trying to use big words. Use is/are for facts and do not for negatives, just like this article.
