⏱️ The "Past vs. Now" Shift

In this story, we see two different ways to talk about time. One is for things that already happened, and one is for things that are happening or will happen.

1. The Finished Action (Past) Look at these words from the text:

  • beat →\rightarrow beat (The game is over)
  • score →\rightarrow scored (They got points before)
  • play →\rightarrow played (The action is finished)
  • change →\rightarrow changed (The coach did this already)

2. The Current State (Present/Future) Now look at how the story changes when talking about the title or the next game:

  • Texas wants to win (This is a feeling they have right now)
  • Texas is winning (This is the current score)
  • Texas Tech must win (This is a requirement for the future)

Quick Guide: If you see -ed at the end of a word (like played or changed), the person is talking about yesterday or last week. If you see -s (like wants), they are talking about today.
