👁️ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how we describe things happening in the text:
- Meta has a new app.
- The app uses a tool.
- It takes a picture.
The Secret: When we talk about a company or a tool (singular), we add an -s to the action word.
Try this logic: Person/Thing → Action + s
Examples from the story:
- Meta says
- App turns
🕒 Past vs. Now
Notice the difference in time:
Now (Present):
- "They are testing"
- "People are talking"
Then (Past):
- "They stopped"
- "They paid"
Tip: To move a story from 'Now' to 'Then', look for the -ed ending (like stopped) or special changes (like pay paid).
