⏳ The 'Past' vs. The 'Now'
In this story, we see a clear jump between things that finished and things that are still happening.
1. Finished (Past) We use a simple form to say something is over.
- Happened → it is done.
- Went → they arrived and finished the trip.
- Found → they saw her; the search ended.
2. Still Happening (Now) We use am/is/are + -ing for things that are not finished yet.
- Helping → they are doing it right now.
- Looking → the search is still going on.
- Writing → the report is not finished.
💡 Quick Tip: If it's a memory → Use the Past form. If it's a movie playing in your head → Use -ing.
