Vocabulary Learning
⚽ The 'Now' vs. 'Then' Trick
Look at these two sentences from the text:
- "He brought in young players." (Past)
- "They are faster." (Present)
The Magic Change When we talk about things that already happened, we often change the end of the word or use a special 'past' version.
- Bring → Brought (He did this before the game)
- Are → Were (If we talked about the score yesterday)
Word Power: 'Professional' vs 'Part-time' In English, we describe jobs in two simple ways:
- Professional → This is your only job. You get paid to play football.
- Part-time → You have another job. You play football only for a few hours.
Quick Guide to Places
- From Kosovo → Tells us where they start.
- In Istanbul → Tells us where the final is.
