Vocabulary Learning

⚾️ The 'Action' Flip

In English, we use won and lost to describe the result of a game. Notice how the sentence changes based on the word:

  • Winner \rightarrow won (The Orioles won 3-1)
  • Loser \rightarrow lost (The Giants lost 3-1)

🚫 Saying 'No' in the Past

To say something did not happen, we use did not + the normal action word.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • "did not hit"
  • "did not get"

Wrong: did not hited \rightarrow Right: did not hit


✍️ Simple Descriptions

When we describe a team, we use is or are + an adjective (a describing word).

  • Strong teams: "The Phillies and Braves are very strong."
  • Weak teams: "The Mets and Giants are not playing well."
