Vocabulary Learning

🕒 Now vs. Before

In this story, we see two different 'times'. One is Now (the present) and one is Finished (the past).

The Past (It happened and it's over):

  • Got hurt \rightarrow happened before
  • Joined the team \rightarrow happened before
  • Made mistakes \rightarrow happened before

The Now (It is happening or is true today):

  • Need new players \rightarrow true now
  • Are still hurt \rightarrow true now
  • Cannot hit the ball \rightarrow true now

Quick Tip for A2: When you talk about a date (like June 17), you usually use the 'Finished' words (Joined, Worked, Went). When you talk about how you feel today, use 'Now' words (Need, Am, Is).
