⚾ The 'Action' Map

In this text, we see a pattern for talking about winning and losing. To reach A2, you need to know how to describe a result.

The Pattern: Team A + Action + Score + to + Team B

Examples from the text:

  • The Chicago Cubs →\rightarrow lost →\rightarrow 5-2 →\rightarrow to the Colorado Rockies.
  • The New York Mets →\rightarrow lost →\rightarrow 5-3 →\rightarrow to the Cincinnati Reds.

Why this matters: When you use the word lost, you use to.

  • Correct: I lost to him.
  • Incorrect: I lost with him.

🤕 Talking about Health

Look at how the text describes players who cannot play. It uses two simple ways:

  1. State: "Many pitchers are hurt."
  2. Action: "Two players came back from injury."

Tip: Use "hurt" for a general feeling and "injury" for the medical problem.
