Learning

⚡ The 'Past' Pattern

When we talk about a game that already happened, we change the action word (verb). Look at these changes from the text:

  • Beat (Stayed the same) →\rightarrow The Braves beat the Tigers.
  • Score →\rightarrow Scored →\rightarrow Atlanta scored first.
  • Help →\rightarrow Helped →\rightarrow Matt Olson helped the team.
  • Hit (Stayed the same) →\rightarrow Ozzie Albies hit a home run.
  • Play →\rightarrow Played →\rightarrow Martín Pérez played well.

💡 Easy Rule: For most words, just add -ed to the end to move the story into the past. If the word doesn't change (like hit or beat), you just have to memorize it!

🤕 Talking about Health

Notice how the text describes problems with the body:

  • Hurt (The feeling of pain)
  • Injury (The medical name for the hurt)
  • Missing (Not there/Not playing)

Example: "His leg hurt" →\rightarrow "He has an injury."
