⏳ The 'Time' Trick
Look at these two ways to talk about time in the story:
1. Now and Always "Justin is 43 years old." (We use is for things that are true right now.)
2. Things that finished "He played for 22 years." (We add -ed to the word 'play' because the action is over.)
Quick Comparison:
- Is = Current state He is tired.
- Played/Won = Past action He won awards.
Future Note: When something hasn't happened yet, use will "He will stop playing."
