⏱️ Talking About Time (Numbers & Years)

In the text, we see how to describe how long someone does something. Look at these patterns:

  • For + Period of Time \rightarrow "for one year"
  • Since + Starting Point \rightarrow "since 2015"

Easy Rule: Use FOR when you count the hours, days, or years (1 year, 5 months). Use SINCE when you name the exact date or year it started (2015, Monday, January).


⚽ Action Words (The Past)

To talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the end of the word:

  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Sign \rightarrow Signed*
  • Need \rightarrow Needed

Note: "Signed" only adds 'd' because it already ends in 'e'.
