⚡ The 'Action Shift' (Past vs. Present)

Look at how the story changes time. This is the secret to A2 English: knowing when something happened and what is happening now.

1. Now (Present)

  • Mike Trout is hurt.
  • He cannot play.
  • Moore will play.

2. Before (Past)

  • Mike Trout played well.
  • He hit 17 home runs.
  • He did not play many games.

Quick Tip: To talk about the past, we often add -ed (play → played). If we want to say 'no' in the past, we use did not + the normal word (did not play).
