πŸ› οΈ Word Tool: "In a row"

When something happens many times without stopping, we use "in a row."

Example from text: "They lost three games in a row."

It means: Game 1: Lost β†’\rightarrow Game 2: Lost β†’\rightarrow Game 3: Lost

πŸ’‘ Simple Tip: The word "Just"

Sometimes "just" means only.

Text: "They just need their players to be healthy." Meaning: They don't need new players or more money. They only need health.
