The 'Time' Switch
In this story, we see how English changes when we talk about the past (finished) and the future (not yet happened).
1. The Past (Yesterday/Before) We add -ed to the action or change the word to show it is over.
- Live Lived
- Die Died
- Have Had (Special change!)
2. The Future (Tomorrow/Later) We use will before the action to show a plan.
- Will be (It is going to happen)
- Will take (It is going to happen)
Quick Guide: Now vs. Then
| Past | Future |
|---|---|
| He had a plan. | There will be events. |
| He lived in London. | Museums will take art. |
Pro Tip: If you see "will", look forward. If you see "-ed", look back.
