Vocabulary Learning
🚀 The 'Now' vs 'Then' Logic
Look at how the story changes from the past to the present. This is the key to A2 storytelling.
1. The Past (What happened) We use simple words to show things are finished:
- Failed → It didn't work.
- Broke → It is damaged.
- Lost → It is gone.
2. The Present/Future (The plan) We use "is/are + [action]ing" for things happening now, and "will" for the future:
- Is fixing → Action happening right now.
- Will use → A decision for the future.
💡 Simple Word Swap Instead of using hard words, the text uses easy A2 pairs:
- Big tower Large structure
- Faster More quick
- Bottom part Lower section
