🕒 Time Travel: Now vs. Before

In this text, we see how to talk about things that are happening now and things that already happened.

1. The 'Right Now' (Present) When we talk about a person's current state or a general truth, we use simple verbs:

  • He is 41 years old.
  • Ronaldo is smart.
  • He plays for Portugal.

2. The 'Finished' (Past) When the action is over, the verb changes its shape (usually adding -ed):

  • Ronaldo scored goals.
  • Dolores sent a message.
  • Ronaldo talked to Rodrygo.

💡 The Big Difference

  • Play \rightarrow Plays (Regular habit/Now)
  • Play \rightarrow Played (Finished/Past)

⚠️ The 'No' Rule (Negative Past) To say someone did not do something in the past, we use did not + the base word:

  • Wrong: He did not scored.
  • Right: He did not score \rightarrow (The 'did' already tells us it is the past, so 'score' stays simple).
