⚽ The 'Action' Words (Past vs. Present)

In this story, we see two ways to talk about time. One is for things that already happened (The Match) and one is for things that are true now (The Team).

1. Things that happened (Past) Look at how the words change to show the game is finished:

  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Score \rightarrow Scored

2. Things that are true now (Present) These words describe the team's current state:

  • They are teenagers.
  • The team is strong.
  • They want to win.

💡 Quick Tip for A2: If you see an -ed at the end of a word (like played), it usually means the action is over! 🏁
