The 'Time Jump' Trick

In this story, we see how English changes when we move from the past to the future.

1. Looking Back (The Past) When the writer talks about 2024, 2025, and 2026, the action verbs change their shape.

  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Hit \rightarrow Hit (This one stays the same!)
  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Beat \rightarrow Beat (Also stays the same!)

2. Looking Ahead (The Future) When the writer talks about 2027 or Blake's goals, we use a helper word: WILL.

  • He will not join
  • He will return

Quick Guide: How to switch?

  • Done already? \rightarrow Use the -ed form (or the special past form like 'won').
  • Not happened yet? \rightarrow Just put will before the action.
