🕒 The "Past vs. Future" Switch
In this story, we see how English changes when we talk about what happened versus what will happen.
1. Looking Back (The Past) When the story talks about Heather's career, it uses simple forms to show the action is finished:
- Played (She played from 2010 to 2025)
- Won (She won the World Cup)
- Scored (She scored many runs)
2. Looking Forward (The Future) When the story talks about the next steps, it uses will + verb:
- Will stop Action in the future.
- Will join Action in the future.
- Will work Action in the future.
💡 Quick Tip for A2: If you see a date in the past (like 2017), use the -ed form (or the special past word like won). If you are talking about a new job or a new plan, use will.
