🏎️ THE 'NOW' VS 'PAST' SWITCH

Look at how the story changes time. This is the secret to A2 English: knowing if something is happening now or if it already happened.

1. The Past (Finished Actions) These words end in -ed or change completely. They tell us what happened before the race.

  • Fastest in practice →\rightarrow had problems
  • The car →\rightarrow changed the engine
  • Toyota →\rightarrow won the races

2. The Present (Current Facts) These are simple. They tell us the situation right now.

  • Drivers →\rightarrow are ready
  • He →\rightarrow must start
  • Toyota drivers →\rightarrow are fast

💡 Quick Rule: If you see -ed (changed) or won, the action is over. If you see are or is, it is happening now.
