⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how the text describes things happening right now and things that already happened.

The 'Right Now' (Present) When something is happening currently, we use a special pattern: is/are + action-ing.

  • Israeli soldiers are fighting →\rightarrow (It is happening now)
  • The army is taking →\rightarrow (It is happening now)

The 'Already Done' (Past) When the action is finished, we often just add -ed to the word.

  • Drones killed →\rightarrow (Finished)
  • They destroyed →\rightarrow (Finished)

Quick Comparison: Are fighting\text{Are fighting} (Still going) ↔\leftrightarrow Destroyed\text{Destroyed} (Done)
