The 'Now vs. Then' Switch

Look at how the story changes time. This is the secret to moving from A1 to A2 English.

1. The Past (What happened)

  • They were teammates. \rightarrow They are not teammates today.
  • The fight happened. \rightarrow It is finished.
  • Tyler wrote bad things. \rightarrow The post is already there.

2. The Present (What is true now)

  • Tyler plays for the Bucks. \rightarrow Current job.
  • They want LeBron. \rightarrow Current wish.
  • They do not want to talk. \rightarrow Current feeling.

Quick Rule: When you see -ed (happened) or a change in word (write \rightarrow wrote), the action is in the past. When the word is simple (want, play), it is happening now.
