⏳ Now vs. Before
Look at how the text talks about the players. It uses two different ways to show time:
1. The Past (Finished) When something happened before today, we add -ed to the action word:
- Play → Played
- Score → Scored
Example: "He played in Germany." (He is not there now).
2. The Present (Right Now) When something is true today, we use the word as it is (or add -s for one person):
- Play → Plays
- Want → Wants
Example: "Now he plays for FC Red Bull Salzburg." (This is his current job).
