πŸ•’ Talking about the Past vs. Now

Look at how the story changes time. We use different words to show if something is finished or if it is happening now.

Finished Actions (Past)

  • Sang β†’\rightarrow (Past of 'sing')
  • Did β†’\rightarrow (Past of 'do')
  • Released β†’\rightarrow (Past of 'release')
  • Talked β†’\rightarrow (Past of 'talk')

Current Facts (Present)

  • Says β†’\rightarrow (She does this now)
  • Is β†’\rightarrow (Current state)
  • Has β†’\rightarrow (Possession now)
  • Wants β†’\rightarrow (Current desire)

The Pattern: To talk about the past, we often just add -ed (like talked). But some words change completely (like sing becomes sang). For things happening now, we add an -s when talking about one person (Melanie says).
