⚡ The 'Who Does What' Pattern

Look at how the text describes actions. It uses a very simple structure: Person/Team → Action → Place/Other Team.

1. Simple Actions (Present Tense)

  • Colorado Rockies →\rightarrow play →\rightarrow in Pittsburgh.
  • Philadelphia Union →\rightarrow plays →\rightarrow Orlando City.

Note: We use 'play' for many people and 'plays' for one team/person.
