🏁 The Power of 'WON'

In this story, we see a word used many times: Won.

What is it? It is the past version of Win. Use it when the race is finished.

The Pattern:

  • Now β†’\rightarrow I win (I am winning now).
  • Then β†’\rightarrow I won (The race is over).

Examples from the text:

  • Kimi Antonelli won the races.
  • Lando Norris won a short race.

πŸ“¦ Talking about Groups (Their/Both)

When we talk about McLaren, we don't just say 'the car.' We use words that show many people are working together:

  1. Their β†’\rightarrow Belonging to the team. (Their cars did not start).
  2. Both β†’\rightarrow Two people together. (Both drivers finished).

Quick Tip: Use Both when you mean 1+1=21 + 1 = 2.
