📅 The "Time-Line" Logic

Look at how the story moves from the past to the future. For A2, you must know when to use did/was versus will.

1. The Past (Finished) These things happened and are over. We use a simple form of the word:

  • Stopped → Action finished.
  • Paid → Money is gone.
  • Showed → He gave the papers.

2. The Future (Planned) When we talk about the World Cup and travel, we use will:

  • He will arrive → Friday event.
  • He will play → Future game.

Quick Shift Summary: Tuesday (Past) \rightarrow Stopped Wednesday (Past) \rightarrow Showed Thursday (Past) \rightarrow Gave Friday (Future) \rightarrow Will arrive
