Learning

⚡️ The "Now" vs. "Then" Switch

Look at how the story moves from the past (things that already happened) to the present (what is happening right now).

1. The Past (Finished) We use these words for actions that are over:

  • Fought (from fight)
  • Used (from use)
  • Went (from go)
  • Found (from find)

2. The Present (Continuing) We use these for things still happening:

  • Are looking →\rightarrow (Police are still searching)
  • Are studying →\rightarrow (Police are still thinking about the case)
  • Are leading →\rightarrow (Special police are in charge now)

Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ing, the action is like a movie still playing. If the word changes shape (like go →\rightarrow went), the movie has ended.
