Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The 'Now' vs. 'Then' Logic
Look at how the text talks about time. A2 students need to see the difference between things that happened and things that are true right now.
1. Things that finished (The Past)
- played (He is not playing now)
- worked (He is not there now)
- arrested (This happened on July 4)
- closed (The cases are finished)
2. Things happening now (The Present)
- is (He is in jail now)
- says (He is speaking now)
- has (He owns shows now)
Quick Rule: If you see -ed at the end of the action word it is a memory/past. If you see the word is or has it is a current fact.
Vocabulary Bridge:
- Former something from the past (e.g., Former player = He was a player, but not anymore).
