The Power of "SAY"
In this story, we see the word say many times. In A2 English, we use this to tell someone's opinion or a claim. It is the easiest way to report news.
How it works:
- Person say Idea
Examples from the text:
- "They say the company lied"
- "They say the labels trick customers"
Simple Truths vs. Opinions
Notice the difference between what people think and what the company has.
| The Claim (Opinion) | The Proof (Fact) |
|---|---|
| They say it is not real. | They have a certificate. |
| They believe it tastes different. | They have a website. |
Key Tip: Use "believe" when you are not 100% sure, and "have" when you possess a physical object (like a paper or a website) to prove something.
