🏀 Tracking Changes: Then vs. Now

Look at how Darius changed his game. This is a great way to describe progress in English.

The Pattern: At first... Now...

Example from text:

  • At first, he played too fast. \rightarrow Now, he is more calm.

Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of just saying "He is calm," you are comparing two different times. This makes your speaking and writing more detailed.

Simple breakdown:

  • At first = The start / The past.
  • Now = The present moment.

Try this logic for other things:

  • At first, English was hard. \rightarrow Now, English is easy.
  • At first, I lived in a small city. \rightarrow Now, I live in Las Vegas.
