🕰️ Time Jumps: 'Now' vs 'Before'
Look at how the story moves between the past and the present:
1. The Past (Before)
- "Hungary said no"
- "Hungary had a leader"
2. The Present (Now)
- "Hungary says yes"
- "Ukraine wants to join"
A2 Tip: When you see Now, use the basic present form of the verb. When you see Before, usually add -ed to the verb (like talked or started).
