Vocabulary Learning
🕒 Time and Action
Look at these two sentences:
- "The flight took 18 hours."
- "The team had one practice."
These words (took, had) tell us about the past. They are finished actions.
The Pattern: Now vs. Then
| Now (Present) | Then (Past) |
|---|---|
| He is a player → | He was born in Germany |
| New Zealand has players → | The flight took 18 hours |
Quick Rule When you talk about a birth date or a flight that already landed, don't use "is" or "has". Use the past form to show the time has moved.
