⚽ Talking about the Past vs. Future

Look at how the text changes time. This is the secret to moving from A1 to A2.

The Past (What happened) Use these words for things that are finished:

  • Played (Larne and Coleraine played)
  • Won (Linfield won)
  • Beat (Lisburn Ladies beat)
  • Scored (Cora scored)

The Future (What will happen) When we look ahead, we use will + action:

  • Will play → Larne will play Tre Fiori.
  • Will play → Glentoran will play in the final.

Quick Tip: Scoring Words In English, we use "won" for the team and "scored" for the player:

  • Team \text{→} Won the game.
  • Player \text{→} Scored a goal.
