💡 The 'Now' Shift

Look at how the story changes from the past to the present. This is the secret to A2 storytelling.

Step 1: The Past (Finished)

  • "Matt Damon worked..."
  • "...after his first big movie."
  • Rule: Just add -ed to the action word for things that are over.

Step 2: The Now (Current)

  • "He is a father now."
  • "He chooses his movies..."
  • "He spends more time..."
  • Rule: Use the basic word (with an 's' for one person) to talk about a current habit or state.

Quick Comparison: Worked (Past) →\rightarrow Chooses (Now)

🛠️ Building Descriptions

To reach A2, you need to describe things simply. Use this pattern from the text:

[Thing] + [is] + [Description]

  • The business →\rightarrow is scary
  • This movie →\rightarrow is very hard
  • The actors →\rightarrow are not right

Tip: Use "very" to make the description stronger!
