Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning

Narrator: Won. Phonetically: WUN. IPA: /wʌn/. It sounds exactly like the number one.
Narrator: It is a verb — the past tense and past participle of win, to be victorious.
Narrator: We won the match. She has won an award. They won first prize at the fair.
Narrator: It marks success already achieved — the moment of winning, looking back.
