🕰️ The 'Now' vs. The 'Then'

In this text, we see a switch between things happening now and things that already happened.

1. Right Now (Present) We use a simple form to talk about facts or habits.

  • Darryn Peterson plays for the Utah Jazz.
  • Savage is not very tall.

2. Before (Past) We often add -ed to the end of the action word to show it is finished.

  • PlayPlayed
  • ScoreScored
  • NeedNeeded

💡 Quick Tip: If you see -ed, the action is over. If you see the basic word (or with an -s), it is happening now or is generally true.
