Learning

🏆 Winning & Ending

In this text, we see words used when a game or a season stops. This is a key pattern for A2 learners to describe events.

The 'Finish' Pattern

  • Finished → It is over. (Example: "The games finished.")
  • Ending soon → It will stop very shortly. (Example: "The season is ending soon.")

The 'Victory' Pattern When someone wins, we use these words:

  1. Won (Past of win) →\rightarrow "The team won a trophy."
  2. Title (The name for the championship) →\rightarrow "This is their eighth title."

Quick Note: The Word 'Still' Look at: "Five teams are still playing." Use still when an action started in the past and continues now.

  • I am still learning English.
  • The game is still going.
