In this story, we see two different ways to talk about time. This is the key to moving to A2.

1. Things that already happened (The Past) We add -ed to the action word to show it is finished.

  • Play β†’ Played

2. Things happening right now or generally (The Present) We use the word as it is, or use "is/are".
