⚾ Talking about the Past

In this story, we see two ways to say things happened already. One is for single actions and one is for recent events.

1. The Simple Past (Finished) When we know exactly when it happened (like a date), we use the simple past.

  • They lost the game on June 19.
  • Jackson Chourio hit a home run.

2. The "Just" Pattern (Very Recent) When something happened a very short time ago, we use just + played.

  • The Brewers just played the Guardians.

💡 Vocabulary Shift: The Word "Hurt"

Usually, "hurt" is a feeling. But in sports, it means injured.

  • Standard: My leg hurts. (Feeling)
  • Sports: Two stars are hurt. (They cannot play → injured)

📅 Days of the Week

Notice how we use on before a day:

  • on Friday
  • on Saturday
  • on Sunday
