Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Time' Trick: Now vs. Then
In this story, we see two ways to talk about life. One is for things that happened in the past (finished), and one is for things happening now.
1. The Past (Done ✅) We use these words when the action is over:
- had → "Jeremy had a medical test."
- stayed → "He stayed in the hospital."
- found → "Doctors found cancer."
2. The Now (Current ⏳) We use these words for things happening at this moment:
- is → "Jeremy is getting better."
- has → "He has prostate cancer."
- wants → "Jeremy wants other men to get tests."
Quick Tip for A2: If you see a date like 'May' or 'October 2024', always look for the Past version of the word (like had or stayed). If you are talking about a person's feeling or health today, use the Now version (is or has).
