💡 The 'Action' Secret
In this text, we see how to talk about things that happened in the past versus things happening now. This is the key to A2 English.
Past (Finished)
- went up (The price changed and stopped)
- drank (He did this before)
- found (The search is over)
Present (Now/General)
- looks → It is happening today.
- is talking → He is doing it right now.
- needs → This is a general fact.
Quick Guide for you: If it's a fact or a feeling today use -s (He says, it looks). If it happened yesterday use the past form (He said, it went).
