Learning

⚡️ The 'Past' vs. 'Now'

In the text, we see a big difference between things happening now and things that already happened. This is the key to moving from A1 to A2.

1. The Past (Finished) Look at Conor McGregor. The text says:

  • "He did not fight..."
  • "He had many problems..."
  • "...fought people..."

→ Rule: When we talk about a time that is over (like 'in the past'), the word changes.

  • Have becomes → Had
  • Fight becomes → Fought
  • Do not becomes → Did not

2. The Future (Plans) Now look at the plans:

  • "McGregor will fight again"
  • "Makhachev will win"

→ Rule: Just add WILL before the action to talk about the future. It is the simplest way to predict something!

Quick Summary Map: Past (Had/Did) →\rightarrow Now (Is/Are) →\rightarrow Future (Will)
