⚽ The 'Win/Lose' Pattern

In English, we use these words to talk about sports results. Notice how the words change when we say something didn't happen.

Positive (Happened)

Won → "Manchester City won 1-0"
Scored → "Sam Kerr scored her 64th goal"

Negative (Did not happen)

Did not lose → "They did not lose for five games"

💡 Pro Tip for A2: When we use did not, the action word (verb) goes back to its simple form.

❌ Did not lost (Wrong) ✅ Did not lose (Right)
