🚀 The "Right Now" Pattern

In this text, we see a lot of things happening at this moment. To reach A2, you need to know how to describe current actions and states.

1. Using "Is/Are" + Verb-ING Look at how the text describes movement:

  • AI is moving...
  • AI is growing...

The Rule: Use this when something is changing or happening right now.

  • Example: I am learning English → I am studying the text.

2. The "Now" Shortcut Notice how the author uses the word "now" to show a change from the past.

  • AI does not just write text now.
  • AI companies are now very expensive.

Tip: Place "now" after the verb to show that a situation has changed.

3. Simple Action Words (Present Simple) When the text talks about facts, it uses simple verbs:

  • AI manages...
  • Companies use...
  • People want...

Quick Guide:

  • Changing/Moving \rightarrow is/are + ing
  • Fact/Habit \rightarrow Simple verb
