Look at how we describe winners and results using simple words. To reach A2, you need to move from just saying "He is..." to saying "He won..."
The Magic Verb: WON When someone is the champion or the winner, we use won.

Comparing People (The Contrast) Notice how the text connects two people using simple logic:
- Person A beat Person B â He beat Ron Angeletti.
- Person A and Person B had the most votes â Mark Hill and Rod Vilhauer had the most votes.
Time and Future (The 'Will' Jump) When something hasn't happened yet, just put will before the action:
- Now â The city needs a mayor.
- Future â They will have another election soon.
- Date â They will vote again on June 13.
