🕒 The 'Past' vs 'Future' Shift

Look at how the story changes from things that already happened to things that will happen.

1. The Past (What is finished) We use simple words to show a completed action. Notice the -ed ending or the special change of the word:

  • won →\rightarrow (Past of 'win')
  • worked →\rightarrow (Work + ed)
  • kept →\rightarrow (Keep + ed)

2. The Future (What is coming) When we talk about 2027 or new plans, we use will:

  • He will stop playing.
  • He will play there.

Quick Guide for A2 Learners:

  • Use -ed (or irregulars like 'won') →\rightarrow Yesterday / Last year.
  • Use will →\rightarrow Tomorrow / Next year.
