Vocabulary Learning
🧩 The 'Action' Logic
Look at these phrases from the text. They show how we talk about things happening now or recently.
1. The 'Is/Are' Connection We use is or are to describe a person's current state or a situation:
- Wesley So is the leader.
- Two men are angry.
- Players are now better.
2. The 'ING' Power When something is happening right at this moment, we add -ing to the action word:
- doing → doing well
- win → winning games
- fight → fighting for the win
3. Simple Past (Finished Actions) When the game is over, the word often changes or stays simple:
- play → played
- win → won
- end → ended
