🕒 TIME TALK

Look at how we talk about the past and the future in this story:

The Past (Things that already happened)

  • Talked →\rightarrow talked
  • Disagreed →\rightarrow disagreed
  • Wanted →\rightarrow wanted

Simple rule: Just add -ed to the end of the action word.

The Future (Things that will happen)

  • Will not stop
  • Will work

Simple rule: Use will before the action word to talk about tomorrow or next year.

Now (Things happening today)

  • They get
  • They are
  • The NFL can

Quick Tip: If you see "will," it's a promise or a plan. If you see "-ed," it's a memory.
