Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ The 'Now' vs. 'Then' Shift
Look at how the text describes players. It moves from a problem in the past to a ready state now. This is the key to A2 storytelling.
The Pattern:
Past Problem Current Status
Examples from the text:
- He had a hurt toe he is okay now.
- He had a hurt wrist he can play now.
Why this matters: To reach A2, you must stop using only the present tense. Use 'had' for things that are finished and 'is/can' for things happening right now.
Quick Guide:
- Had = ❌ (Not anymore)
- Is / Can = ✅ (Right now)
