🕒 Moving from Yesterday to Today

Look at how we describe things that happened before versus things happening now. This is the secret to A2 speaking.

Past (Finished) \rightarrow Present (Now)

  • Played \rightarrow Is
  • Went \rightarrow Returns
  • Was \rightarrow Are

Example from the text: "He was the captain there... Now he returns to Delhi."


💡 The "Same" Logic

When two things are alike, we use the word same. It is a very useful A2 word to connect ideas.

Pattern: the same [thing] as [person/place]

  • Text: "The same area as Lucknow."
  • Meaning: Both are in the same part of the map.

⚠️ Talking about Trouble

To describe a bad situation, the text uses simple words. Avoid big words; use these:

  1. Problems (General bad things)
  2. Arguments (People fighting with words)
  3. Lost (Did not win)

Quick Tip: Use "also" to add a second problem. Example: "Delhi has problems. Also, the team must decide the captain."
