⚡ The 'Past vs. Present' Switch

Look at how the story changes time. We use different words for things that happened and things that are happening.

1. The 'Finished' Action (Past) When the action is over, we often add -ed to the word:

  • Talk →\rightarrow Talked
  • Like →\rightarrow Liked
  • Work →\rightarrow Worked
  • Cancel →\rightarrow Cancelled

2. The 'Right Now' State (Present) When we talk about the situation today, the word stays simple:

  • The show has fewer viewers.
  • Nine Entertainment says Karl is leaving.
  • They think it is bad.

💡 Pro Tip for A2: If you see -ed, think yesterday. If you see the base word, think today.
