🕒 THE "TIME" TRICK
In this story, we see two ways to talk about when things happen. This is the key to A2 English!
1. The Simple Past (Finished) Use this for things that are already done.
- Started → It happened on July 1. It is over.
2. The Future (Planning) Use will for things that happen later.
- Will give → Money is coming later.
- Will use → Shoes for future games.
- Will show → The clothes arrive on July 6.

Started (Past) Now Will show (Future)
