Vocabulary Learning

⚡ The 'Winner' Pattern

In this story, we see one word used over and over: won.

What is it? Won is the past version of win. We use it when the game or race is finished.

How it works:

  • Today: I win the race. \rightarrow Now
  • Yesterday: I won the race. \rightarrow Past

Spotting it in the text:

  • "Melissa Jefferson-Wooden won..."
  • "Tate Taylor... won..."
  • "Kayinsola Ajayi won..."

Quick Guide for A2: If you want to talk about a victory that already happened, stop using "win" and start using won. It is an irregular change (it doesn't end in -ed), so you must memorize it!


Bonus Tip: Who is who? Notice how the text uses names first, then a shortcut word: Nikki Hiltz \rightarrow She Tate Taylor \rightarrow He
