🕒 Talking about the Future vs. The Past

In this story, we see two very different ways to talk about time. This is the key to reaching A2.

1. The Future (Things that will happen) We use will for things that are decided for the future.

  • Farrell will stay \rightarrow He is staying.
  • He will work \rightarrow He is continuing his job.
  • He will not go \rightarrow This is a 'no' for the future.

2. The Past (Things that already happened) Look at how the words change when the action is finished. We often add -ed or change the word completely.

  • Start \rightarrow Started (2016)
  • Become \rightarrow Became (2019)
  • Win \rightarrow Won (Trophies)
  • Lose \rightarrow Lost (Recent games)

💡 Simple Tip: If you see 'will', look forward. If you see '-ed' or a changed word, look backward.
