🕒 The 'Then vs. Now' Shift

Look at how the story moves from the past to the present. To reach A2, you need to switch between these two smoothly.

1. The Past (Finished Actions) We use a special ending for regular actions that are over:

  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Score \rightarrow Scored*
  • Thank \rightarrow Thanked

Example: "Bharat played for India." (It is finished).

2. The Present (Current State) We use simple forms for things that are true right now:

  • He is 32 years old.
  • He wants to teach.

💡 Pro Tip: The 'Did Not' Rule When we say 'no' in the past, the verb goes back to its simple form. We don't use the '-ed' ending here:

❌ He did not scored \rightarrow WRONG ✅ He did not score \rightarrow RIGHT
