⚡ The "Action Word" Shift

In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened.

Look at these words:

  • Finish \rightarrow Finished
  • Lose \rightarrow Lost
  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Beat \rightarrow Beat (stays the same!)

How to use this: If you want to tell someone about your day yesterday, add -ed to the end of most action words.

Example from the text: "Arthur Fery lost his game." (He is not losing now; it is over).


Quick Tip: "Out" vs "Left" Both words here mean the same thing: Gone.

  • "No players are left" \rightarrow 0 players remain.
  • "de Minaur is out" \rightarrow He cannot play anymore.
