🕰️ Then vs. Now

Look at how the story talks about people. We use different words for things that are happening now and things that happened in the past.

The Past (Finished) When something is over, we add -ed or change the word:

  • Died (from die)
  • Was (from is)
  • Took (from take)
  • Wore (from wear)
  • Wanted (from want)

The Present (Now) When we talk about a fact right now:

  • Is
  • Has
  • Helps

Simple Rule → If you see -ed, it usually means the action is finished.

Example: She wanted to plan → She felt this way before the baby arrived. The family is happy → They feel this way right now.
