⚡ The "Now vs. Before" Switch
To reach A2, you must move from just talking about the present to talking about the past. Look at how the story changes time:
The Present (Right Now)
- She has an injury.
- She cannot play.
- The team needs her.
The Past (Finished)
- Plum hurt her leg. → (Happened once)
- She missed games. → (Finished action)
- She played many minutes. → (Over)
- She scored 43 points. → (One specific game)
💡 Simple Rule for You: Most words for the past just need an -ed at the end:
- play → played
- miss → missed
Watch out! Some words change completely or stay the same (like hurt), but for now, focus on the -ed pattern to start describing your own history.
