I failed: the missed penalty, the lost race, the bad mark, sentence 19

Some things take longer to learn, and a different way of practising, like a song for times tables, can help; "not yet" is truer than "my brain doesn't work".

Who acts: things, different way, brain · What happens: take, learn, practise, help, be, not work · To what, where: longer
