🕒 The 'Time' Logic
In this story, we see how to talk about when things happen. This is key for A2 level.
1. Specific Dates Use 'In' for months and 'On' for full dates:
- In May 2026 (Month + Year)
- On June 17 (Specific Day)
2. The Logic of 'Because' We use because to explain a reason. Look at this pattern:
- Action: They went at night Reason: because sellers changed their time.
3. Now vs. Then Notice the change in the story:
- Past: They arrested people (Finished action).
- Future/Present: The city will help people (Plan for the future).
