⚽ THE 'NOW' vs. 'BEFORE'
Look at how the text changes between things happening right now and things that already happened.
1. Right Now (Present) Use this for facts or current situations.
- Example: "48 teams play in the tournament."
- Example: "Mexico and South Korea are at the top."
- Pattern: [Person/Team] [Action/State]
2. Already Happened (Past) Add -ed to the action to show it is finished.
- Example: "Mexico played South Africa."

Quick Tip: If you see "Now," use the simple form. If you see a date in the past, use -ed.
