The 'Will' Trick

In this story, we see the word will used many times. We use it to talk about the future (things that happen later).

  • Ronda Rousey will fight...
  • ...Nate Diaz will fight.

How it works: Person \rightarrow will \rightarrow Action


Win vs. Loss

These are opposite words. A2 learners need these to describe results:

extWin(Good)extLoss(Bad) ext{Win (Good)} \leftrightarrow ext{Loss (Bad)}

  • Win: To be the best in the fight.
  • Loss: To not win.

Key Word: 'Famous'

Look at the sentence: "Many famous fighters are in the event."

Famous = Many people know who they are. (Example: Kobe Bryant is a famous basketball player.)
