🏀 The "Action" Logic

Look at how the story talks about the game. It uses simple words to show things that happened in the past.

The Past Pattern:

  • beat \rightarrow won the game
  • led \rightarrow was in front
  • caught up \rightarrow became equal
  • played \rightarrow did the activity
  • won \rightarrow got the victory

🔢 Counting Success

When we talk about sports or results, we use numbers + nouns. This is a key A2 skill: Giving Details.

  • 34 points (How much? \rightarrow 34)
  • 7 wins (How many? \rightarrow 7)
  • 5 losses (How many? \rightarrow 5)

Tip: Just put the number before the thing you are counting. *Example: "I have 2 dogs" or "She has 30 points."


📍 Where and When

Notice how the text tells us the place and time. Keep it simple:

  • Place: in Indianapolis
  • Time: on June 11 / on Saturday

Rule of thumb: Use IN for cities \rightarrow in New York, in Tokyo. Use ON for specific days \rightarrow on Monday, on my birthday.
