Learning

🏀 Action Words: Past vs. Present

Look at how the text talks about things that already happened (Past) and things that are happening now (Present).

The Past (Finished) Most of the story uses a special 'ed' ending or a change in the word to show the game is over:

  • Beat (Win) →\rightarrow "The Aces beat the Sun"
  • Scored (Points) →\rightarrow "A'ja Wilson scored 45 points"
  • Broke (Record) →\rightarrow "She broke a league record"
  • Lost (Lose) →\rightarrow "The Sun lost two players"

The Present (Ongoing) At the end, we see things that are still true today:

  • Is playing →\rightarrow This is happening right now during the season.
  • Are learning →\rightarrow The teams are still practicing together.

Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed, the action is a memory. If you see is/are + -ing, the action is a movie playing in your head.
