🏆 Talking about Winning

In this text, we see a pattern for describing sports results. When we talk about the past, we often change the action word.

The Magic Shift:

  • Win (Now) →\rightarrow Won (Past)
  • Lose (Now) →\rightarrow Lost (Past)

Examples from the news:

  • "Lone Peak and Davis won by many goals."
  • "Some boys and girls teams did not lose any games." (Note: we use 'lose' here because 'did not' already tells us it is the past).

Quick Guide for A2 Learners: If you want to say a team was successful yesterday, don't say "They win." Say "They won."

Vocabulary Bridge:

  • Tie →\rightarrow Same score (1-1, 2-2).
  • Championship →\rightarrow The biggest win of the season.
