🕒 The 'Time Jump' (Past vs. Present)

Look at how the story moves from what happened to what is happening now.

1. The Past (Finished Actions) We use a simple form to show things that are over.

  • Won (from win)
  • Stopped (from stop)
  • Fired (from fire)

2. The Present (Current State/Wishes) We use these for things happening right now or goals.

  • Is changing \rightarrow (It is happening now)
  • Wants \rightarrow (A current feeling/desire)

Quick Guide for A2 Learners: If the action has a specific date (like April 12), use the Past form. If it is a general situation today, use the Present form.
