Learning
π The "Then" vs. "Now" Shift
Look at how the story moves from the past to the future. This is the key to A2 speaking.
1. The Past (Finished Actions) We use a simple change to the verb to show something is over:
- Grow Grew
- Is Was
- Play Played
- Help Helped
2. The Future (Plans) When the story talks about the movie coming soon, it uses WILL:
- Will choose (Planning to pick actors)
- Will tell (Planning to give a date)
Quick Tip for Beginners: If you see -ed at the end of a word, it usually means it happened yesterday. If you see will, it happens tomorrow.
