🧱 Building Sentences: The 'Now' and 'Then' Shift

Look at how the text tells a story about time using simple words. This is how you move from A1 to A2.

The Pattern: State Change

  • Past/Problem \rightarrow Present/Solution

Examples from the text:

  1. "Emma Raducanu was sick... Now she is healthy."
  2. "Lorenzo Musetti is hurt... Now Stan Wawrinka can enter."

How to use this: When you want to describe a change in your life, use this bridge: [Old State] \rightarrow Now \rightarrow [New State]

Example: "I was tired. Now I am awake."


🎾 Action Words: 'Can' and 'Cannot'

To reach A2, you must show if something is possible or impossible.

  • Positive: "Stan Wawrinka can enter" (It is possible \checkmark)
