Vocabulary Learning
⚡ Quick-Switch: Past vs. Future
Look at how the story moves from what happened to what will happen.
1. The Past (Done) We use these words to talk about things that already finished:
- Met (Meet → Met)
- Used (Use → Used)
- Came (Come → Came)
- Fought (Fight → Fought)
2. The Future (Plan) When the Mayor talks about her new rule, she uses will:
- This rule will tell children...
Key takeaway for A2: If the action is over → use the past form. If it is a plan or a promise → use will + action word.
