πŸ•’ Talking About the Past vs. Future

In this story, we see two very clear ways to talk about time. This is the key to moving from A1 to A2.

1. Things that already happened (Past) We add -ed to the action word to show it is finished.

  • Live β†’\rightarrow Lived
  • Work β†’\rightarrow Worked

Example: "She lived in North Carolina." (She is not there now).


2. Things that will happen (Future) We use the word will before the action word.

  • Go β†’\rightarrow will go
  • Stay β†’\rightarrow will stay

Example: "He will go to prison." (This happens later).

Quick Contrast:

  • Past: "He hurt people" β†’\rightarrow It is over.
  • Future: "He will go to court" β†’\rightarrow It is coming.
