Look at how the story changes verbs to show things already happened:

The Secret: In English, many 'action words' change their shape completely when we talk about yesterday or last year. You cannot just add "-ed".

Example from text: "Scandinavia won the Gold Cup" (It happened on June 18).

When describing money, put the currency first:

260 million pounds $\rightarrow$ £260,000,000

Keep it simple: Number $\rightarrow$ Scale (million/billion) $\rightarrow$ Currency (pounds/dollars).
