🌍 Where is it happening?

In this text, we see a very useful pattern for talking about places: In + [Country].

  • In England
  • In Spain
  • In Germany
  • In Italy
  • In Saudi Arabia
  • In Scotland

The Rule: Use 'In' when you talk about a city or a country. It is like a big box that contains the action.

🏆 Winning and Wanting

Look at these two simple ways to describe goals:

  1. Past (It happened): Barcelona won the league →\rightarrow It is finished.

  2. Present/Future (They hope for it): They want to win →\rightarrow It is a dream or a plan.

Quick Tip: Win (Now/Always) →\rightarrow Won (Yesterday/Past)
