🗓️ Talking about the Future & Past

In the text, we see how English changes when we talk about now, before, and later.

1. The 'Right Now' / General Fact We use a simple form to say things that are true today:

  • Burnley has no manager.
  • Southampton lost four points.

2. The 'Coming Soon' (Future) To talk about dates in the future, we often use the word starts or plays even if it hasn't happened yet. This is common for schedules:

  • The season starts on August 14.
  • Cardiff City plays Wrexham.

3. The 'Long Ago' (Past) Look at the word did not. We use this to talk about things that stopped happening:

  • These two teams did not play... for a long time.
