The Pattern:
Time Period Percentage Action
From the text:
- Ten years ago 10% used e-bikes.
- Now 40% use them.
Why this helps you: Instead of just saying "Many people use bikes," you can be specific.
Quick Tip: Use "Now" for the present and "...ago" for the past.
- Now = Present Tense (use)
- Ten years ago = Past Tense (used)
