⏱️ The Time Shift
Look at how the story moves from Yesterday (Past) to Tomorrow (Future). This is a key skill for A2 English.
1. The Past (What happened) We use simple words to describe finished actions:
- Lost (They lost 4-1)
- Played (The team played well)
- Beat (They beat Paraguay)

2. The Future (What will happen) When we talk about 2028 or 2030, we use will:
