⚽️ THE 'WIN/LOSE' PATTERN

In English, we describe results using simple pairs. Look at how the text talks about games:

  • Win → Won (Past)
  • Lose → Lost (Past)

How to use it:

  • City won 3-0. (They are the winners)
  • Wolverhampton lost every game. (They are the losers)

Wait! What about a draw? When the score is the same, we don't use 'win' or 'lose'. We describe the score:

  • The score was 1-1.

Quick Tip: If you want to say you are the best, use: First in the table → Arsenal is still first.
