📉 The 'Past vs. Present' Shift

Look at how the story changes from Then to Now. This is a key A2 skill: describing a change in situation.

The Contrast Pattern:

Past: They had 215 seats. $\rightarrow$ Present: They want to change.
Past: The party won 80 seats. $\rightarrow$ Present: The BJP is the winner.

Word Focus: Simple Action Words In this text, we see 'Strong' vs 'Weak' movements:

Weak/Loss	Strong/Improve
Lost $\rightarrow$ The party lost.	Fix $\rightarrow$ Fix the offices.
Leave $\rightarrow$ People can leave.	Add $\rightarrow$ Add new people.

💡 Pro Tip for A2: Notice the word "Now". It acts like a bridge. When you see "Now," the sentence usually switches from what happened before to what is happening at this moment.
