💡 The "Action" Word

In English, we change words to show if something is happening now or is a fact.

The Pattern: Look at how the article describes the club:

  • "Tottenham Hotspur is changing..." → This is happening right now. It is a process.
  • "The club wants a stable team..." → This is a general truth or a wish.
