🕒 The 'Now' vs. The 'Then'

Look at how the story changes time. It uses two different ways to talk about the world:

1. Things that are true right now (The State)

  • "Denny Hamlin is the fastest driver."

  • Use this for facts and descriptions.

2. Things that already happened (The Action)

  • "Denny Hamlin was very fast."
  • "He beat Kyle Larson."
  • "Toyota won 11 races."
  • Use this for stories and finished events.
