🏀 The Power of 'When'

Look at this pattern from the text: *"When Reese gets 10 or more rebounds, the team wins..."

What is happening? We use When + [Action A] → [Result B].

It's like a simple formula for cause and effect:

When (Something happens) \rightarrow (Something else happens).

Simple Examples for you:

  • When I study \rightarrow I learn.
  • When it rains \rightarrow I use an umbrella.
  • When the team plays well \rightarrow they win.

🔢 Comparing Positions

Notice how the text describes the teams:

  • Fourth place
  • Ninth place

These are Ordinal Numbers. They don't tell us how many (1, 2, 3), they tell us the order or rank.

Quick Guide:

  • 1 \rightarrow First
  • 2 \rightarrow Second
  • 3 \rightarrow Third
  • 4 \rightarrow Fourth (The Dream's rank!)
  • 9 \rightarrow Ninth (Toronto's rank!)
