⚡ The "Now vs. Then" Shift
Look at how the story moves from the past to the present. This is the secret to speaking A2 English: knowing when something is finished and when it is still true.
1. The Finished Action (Past) We use these words for things that are over:
- Played happened in the game.
- Won the result is finished.
- Worked happened in 2024.
2. The Current State (Present) We use these words for things that are true right now:
- Has current record.
- Is current status (e.g., "Lincoln is now a strong team").
💡 Pro Tip: If you see the word "Now", switch from played/won is/has.
