The 'Now' and 'Then' Switch

Look at how the story talks about time. It moves from things that already happened to things happening right now.

1. The Past (Finished) These words tell us the action is over:

  • Bought → (Buy)
  • Kept → (Keep)
  • Had → (Have)

2. The Present (Happening/Current) These words show the action is still going on:

  • Are changing → (Action is moving/changing currently)
  • Is getting → (Progressing toward health)
  • Want → (A current feeling)

Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ing (changing, getting), it usually means the action is in progress. If the word looks different (bought, kept), it usually happened in the past.
