The 'How Someone Played' Pattern

In English, we use simple words to describe the quality of an action. Look at how the article describes the golfers:

The Good Side →\rightarrow Played well / Finished ahead The Bad Side →\rightarrow Played poorly / Played badly / Made a mistake

💡 Simple Rule for A2:

To describe a result, use: [Person] + [Action] + [Quality Word]

  • Example: "Rickie Fowler played well."
  • Example: "Rory McIlroy played badly."

⚠️ Watch Out!

Notice the difference between Poorly and Badly. In this text, they both mean the same thing: not good.

  • Poorly →\rightarrow Low quality
  • Badly →\rightarrow Not good
