brace expansion

the bash shell supports brace expansion.
the idea is that the string before and after are concatenated with element in the braces

echo "you won "{two,three,four}" points, "

you won two points,  you won three points,  you won four points,

echo "you won "{1..10}" points, "

you won 1 points,  you won 2 points,  you won 3 points,  you won 4 points,  you won 5 points,  you won 6 points,  you won 7 points,  you won 8 points,  you won 9 points,  you won 10 points,
