🕰️ The "Now vs. Then" Shift

Look at how the story changes from the Past (what happened) to the Present (what is happening now).

1. The Past (Finished Actions) We use a special form of the verb to show things are over.

  • Played →\rightarrow (He is not there anymore)
  • Wanted →\rightarrow (The feeling happened before)
  • Signed →\rightarrow (The paper is already written)

2. The Present (Current Status) We use a simple form to show the current situation.

  • Plays →\rightarrow (His current team)
  • Throws →\rightarrow (His current style)
  • Is →\rightarrow (His current state)

💡 Simple Pattern to Remember:

Past Event →\rightarrow add -ed (mostly) Present Fact →\rightarrow add -s (for one person)

Example from text: "He played for the Dodgers... Now, he plays for the Padres."
