🚩 The "Action Word" Shift

Look at how we talk about things that already happened versus things happening now.

Past (Finished)

  • He visited (it happened before)
  • He decided (it is done)
  • He chose (the choice is over)

Present (Right Now)

  • He is (his current state)
  • He has (what he owns now)
  • They want (their current wish)

The Secret Trick: Many English words just add -ed to the end to move from Now \rightarrow Then. Example: Visit \rightarrow Visited.

Watch Out! Some words are rebels and change completely:

  • Choose \rightarrow Chose
