  • Past (It already happened) →\rightarrow played, won, lost, had
  • Present (It is happening now) →\rightarrow is, have, are, wants
  • Future (It will happen later) →\rightarrow will play, must find

Quick Guide for A2: If you see -ed at the end of a word (like played), the action is finished. If you see will, the action is a plan for later.
