⚡ The 'Now' vs 'Before' Shift

Look at how the text describes changes. To reach A2, you need to talk about things that are different today compared to the past.

The Pattern:

  • Old state \rightarrow is now \rightarrow New state

Examples from the text:

  1. KL Rahul \rightarrow is now the vice-captain.
  2. Rishabh Pant \rightarrow is not the vice-captain now.

Simple Rule: Use "is now" to tell someone about a new job, a new name, or a new feeling.

When something is a requirement (not a choice), use must.
