⚡ The Power of "VERY"

In English, when you want to make a word stronger, you can put very before it. It is like adding a battery to a word to make it more powerful.

Examples from the text:

  • Long → very long
  • Hard → very hard
  • Far → very far
  • Straight → very straight

🧩 Word Swapping

Notice how the text describes the course. You can use different words to say the same thing:

Hard \rightarrow Difficult

"The course is very hard." \rightarrow "The course is very difficult."


🚩 The "Some / Other" Pattern

When talking about a group of people, we split them into categories:

  • Some players are not here. (Group A)
  • Other players are good. (Group B)

Use this when you want to show a difference between people in a group.
