Introduction

The Cleveland Browns want to find the best quarterback for the 2026 season. Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders are competing for the job.

Main Body

Deshaun Watson is doing well in practice. He makes good choices and the team gives him more time to play. Watson did not play in 2025 because he had a leg injury. Shedeur Sanders is a new player. He had a difficult first year. He made many mistakes and did not score many points. Some people want Watson to start now. Other people think Sanders needs more time to learn. The coach, Todd Monken, will decide in June. The team is also buying new players to help the quarterback.

Conclusion

Watson is the favorite to start, but the coach will make the final choice in June.

🕰️ The 'Then' vs 'Now' Pattern

Looking at the text, we see how to describe a person's history versus their current status. This is a key A2 skill.

1. The Past (What happened) We use simple words to show things that are finished:

  • "Watson did not play" →\rightarrow (He is not resting now, he was out before).
  • "He had a difficult first year" →\rightarrow (The year is over).

2. The Present (What is happening) We use words that show a current state:

  • "Watson is doing well" →\rightarrow (Right now in practice).
  • "Sanders is a new player" →\rightarrow (His current status).

Quick Tip: The 'Did Not' Rule When we say someone did not do something, we use the base action word.

  • Correct: did not play
  • Incorrect: did not played

Vocabulary Bridge

  • Injury →\rightarrow A hurt body part.
  • Favorite →\rightarrow The person most likely to win.
