Action Words (Past vs. Now)

Look at how the story changes from things happening now to things that already happened.

1. Now (Present) We use these words for things that are true right now:

  • is fighting \rightarrow happening at this moment
  • are dying \rightarrow happening at this moment
  • cannot work \rightarrow a current problem

2. Before (Past) Notice the -ed at the end of words. This tells us the action is finished:

  • Hit (Special word: stays the same!)
  • Burned \rightarrow Finished
  • Started \rightarrow Finished

Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed, stop thinking about today. Think about yesterday.
