The 'Now vs. Past' Switch

Look at how the story changes time. This is the secret to A2 storytelling.

1. The Past (What happened before)

  • India did not have...
  • The word did tells us the action is finished.

2. The Now (What is happening)

  • India wants to stop...
  • India has many new companies...
  • Students study...

Quick Pattern: Past (did not) \rightarrow Now (wants/has/study)


Power Words for 'Amount'

To describe how much of something there is, use these simple blocks:

  • Many \rightarrow (used for things you can count: many books, many women, many people)
  • Little \rightarrow (used for things you cannot count: little money)

Example from text: "India has many new small companies... India spends very little money."
