⚡ THE 'ACTION' MAP

Look at how the text tells us what happened. At A2 level, we use simple 'Past' words to describe events.

The Pattern: Now vs. Then

  • Want (Now/General) \rightarrow Wanted (Past)
  • Take (Now/General) \rightarrow Took (Past)
  • Have (Now/General) \rightarrow Had (Past)

Quick Examples from the Text:

  • "Some teams wanted good players" (They felt this way before).
  • "The Toronto Maple Leafs took the first player" (This action is finished).
  • "The NHL had a draft" (The event already happened).

Key Rule: To talk about a sports game or a news report from yesterday, add -ed to most words or change the word completely (like take to took). This is the fastest way to start telling stories in English.
