Learning
π Talking about the Past vs. Now
In this story, we see two ways to describe things. One is for things that are finished (the past) and one is for things that are true right now.
The 'Then' (Past) When we talk about Amrita's life, we use words that show the action is over:
- Studied (She went to school in Paris β now she is finished).
- Painted (She made the art β the art is done).
- Lived (She stayed in Europe β she doesn't live there now).
The 'Now' (Present) When we talk about the movie or the art today, the words change:
- Is (The movie is about her life).
- Are (The paintings are expensive).
- Loves (Mira Nair loves the work).
Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed at the end of a word like painted, it usually means it happened a long time ago. If the word is simple like paints or is, it is happening in the present.
