🕒 The "Time-Travel" Trick
In the text, we see two ways to talk about the past. One is for facts and one is for comparisons.
1. Finished Actions (The 'Did' Pattern) When something is over, we change the word or use 'did not'.
- Worked (Work + ed)
- Used (Use + d)
- Did not use → (The 'did' takes the past, so 'use' stays simple)
2. Comparing Then vs. Now Look at this sentence: "Her old albums sold more than her new ones."
If you want to compare two things at A2 level, use this bridge: [Thing A] + [More/Less] + than + [Thing B]
Example: Old music more than new music.
