🛠️ Action Words: Past vs. Now

In this text, we see a big difference between things that happened and things that are happening. To reach A2, you must see this pattern:

1. The 'Finished' Action (Past) These words end in -ed. They are over.

  • Stopped → The ship is not moving now.
  • Attacked → It happened before.

2. The 'Right Now' Action (Present Continuous) These use are + -ing. It is still happening.

  • Are fighting → The war is still going on.
  • Is moving → The oil is traveling right now.

Quick Guide:

  • Finished? → Use -ed (e.g., Iran attacked)
  • Still going? → Use are/is + -ing (e.g., They are fighting)

Vocabulary Boost: Simple Connections

  • But → Use this when two ideas fight (e.g., Trump says yes, BUT Iran says no).
  • Then → Use this for a timeline (e.g., First a helicopter, THEN buildings).
