⚡️ The 'Right Now' vs. 'Before' Switch

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

1. The Now (Present) We use these for facts and current feelings:

  • He does not want to work...

2. The Before (Past) We change the word to show it already happened:

  • A woman was excited (Now →\rightarrow Was)
  • She hit his face (Action finished)
  • Leigh said sorry (Say →\rightarrow Said)

In English, we use Get to show a change in state:

  • Get hurt →\rightarrow To become injured
  • Get angry →\rightarrow To become angry
  • Get lucky →\rightarrow To become lucky
