💡 Talking about the Past and Future
Look at how the story changes time. To move from A1 to A2, you need to see the difference between what happened and what will happen.
1. The Future (Plan) We use will for things that are decided for later.
- He will stay → (Future plan)
- He will get → (Future money)
2. The Past (Finished) We change the action word (verb) to show it is over. Notice how 'get' changes to 'got' and 'play' changes to 'played'.
- The Suns got Mark → (It happened in 2025)
- He played 60 games → (Last year)
