Vocabulary Learning
🕰️ The "Now" vs. "Then" Shift
In this story, we see a clear switch between things that happened in the past and things happening right now. This is the secret to moving from A1 to A2.
1. The Past (Finished Actions) When something is over, we add -ed or change the word:
- Left (not "leave") → He left in June.
- Started → J Batt started a project.
- Fought (not "fight") → They fought a lot.
2. The Present (Current State) When we talk about today, we use the simple form or words like "now":
- Works → He now works at Clemson.
- Is → Jon Palumbo is the director.
- Looking for → The university is looking for a leader.
Quick Tip: If you see a date (like May or 1995), look for the Past form. If you see the word "Now," use the Present form.
