⚡ The 'Now' vs. 'Before' Switch
In this text, we see how to describe a person's life journey. To reach A2, you need to move between the present (what is happening now) and the past (what happened before).
1. The Present (Right Now) We use simple words to show current jobs:
- He is the president.
- Quentin manages the business.
- James still runs the Knicks.
2. The Past (Finished) When the time changes to 'before' or a specific year, the verb changes its ending (usually adding -ed):
- He studied sports. (Finished university)
- He helped players. (Old job)
- He started this work in 1999. (Specific start date)
