🎾 Talking about the Past vs. The Future
In this text, we see a clear switch between things that already happened and things that will happen. This is key for A2 English.
1. The Past (Finished) Look at these verbs from the story. They describe the matches that are over:
- won (from win)
- lost (from lose)
- had (from have)
- used (from use)
Pattern: Subject + Past Verb → "She won her match."
2. The Future (Planned) Now look at how the author talks about the next games or recovery:
- will not play
- will play
- will rest
Pattern: Subject + will + Verb → "Elena Rybakina will rest her body."
Quick Tip: If it happened yesterday won. If it happens tomorrow will win.
