🚨 Action Words: Now vs. Then
In this story, we see two ways to talk about actions. One is for things that are finished (Past), and one is for things that are true now (Present).
1. The 'Finished' Look (Past) When something already happened, we often add -ed to the word:
- Catch Catched (Wait! This one is special: Caught)
- Want Wanted
- Steal Stole (Special: Stole)
- Sell Sold (Special: Sold)
2. The 'Now' Look (Present) When we talk about a general fact or something happening now, the word stays simple:
- Police want help.
- They live in Spain.
- He is 49 years old.
💡 Simple Trick for A2: If you see a date like "Last year", you must use the "Finished" (Past) words. If you see words like "Often" or "Now", use the "Now" (Present) words.
