🏆 Talking About Winning

In this text, we see how to say a team was the best. Look at these simple patterns:

  • [Team] + won + [Sport]

    • Example: Union Springs won baseball.
    • Meaning: They were the winner of the game.

  • [Team] + won + [The Prize]

    • Example: Canutillo won a bronze medal.
    • Meaning: They got a physical award.

💡 Quick Tip for A2: Use "won" for games and prizes.

Wait! What about "did well"? The text says: "Zeeland East and West Ottawa did very well." → Use this when they didn't necessarily win everything, but they played a good game.
