🏁 The 'Action' Words

In this story, we see things happening right now or things that already happened. Let's look at how to describe a situation.

The Past (Finished Actions) When something is over, we often add -ed to the word.

  • changed \rightarrow (The FIA changed the results)
  • used \rightarrow (They used the wrong numbers)
  • wanted \rightarrow (They wanted a fair result)

The Present (Now/General) When we talk about how people feel or where they are now, we use simple words.

  • is \rightarrow (Pierre Gasly is in third place)
  • are \rightarrow (Other teams are not happy)
  • want \rightarrow (Three teams want to fight)

Quick Rule: If you see -ed, it's like a movie that already finished. If you see is/are, it's a photo of the current moment.
