🕰️ Now vs. Before

In this story, we see a big difference between how Mollie is now and how she was before. This is the secret to moving from A1 to A2: knowing when to change your verb.

1. The "Right Now" (Present) Use these words for things happening today:

  • is → Mollie is back at work.
  • works → She works for BBC Radio 1.
  • wants → She wants to rest.

2. The "Finished" (Past) When the time is over (like last July or March), the words change shape:

  • is \rightarrow was (She was away).
  • fell \rightarrow (She fell at home).
  • had \rightarrow (She had a neck injury).

Quick Guide for your brain: If you see words like Last July, In March, or 2022, do not use "is". Use was or a past action word.
