Vocabulary Learning
The 'Time' Shift
Look at how the text talks about the past versus now. This is the key to A2 English: moving from was to is.
The Pattern: Before Now
- Before: "they worked for five years" (Past)
- Now: "they work for seven years" (Present)
How to use this: When you want to show a change, use a simple past action first, then a present fact.
Word Alert: 'Instead' This word is a bridge. It replaces one idea with another.
- Not A Instead B
- Not voting directly Instead Parliament chooses.
