⚾ The 'Action' Shift

Look at how the story changes from now to then. This is the secret to A2 storytelling.

1. The Past (What happened) These words describe finished actions:

  • beat → won the game
  • played → performed
  • scored → got points
  • had → possessed

2. The Present (What is true now) These words describe the current state:

  • are → the current situation
  • is → a single fact

3. The 'But' Bridge Notice the word However. It is a fancy way to say but.

  • Example: Paul was great → However → He gave up home runs.
