💡 THE 'NOW' VS 'BEFORE' SHIFT
Look at how the story talks about choices. This is a great way to move from A1 to A2 English.
1. The Past (Finished)
- He first chose...
- He chose...
2. The Present (Current)
- Now, he chooses...
- He is still talking...
3. The Future (Maybe)
- He might change...
- He may choose...
Quick Word Map:
First Now Maybe
Key A2 Pattern: The 'Maybe' Words In English, we don't always say "I will." When we are not 100% sure, we use Might or May.
- He might change his mind = 50% chance of changing.
- He may choose Georgia = 50% chance of choosing.
