Learning
The 'Now vs. Then' Switch
Look at how the story changes time. We use different words for the past and the present.
Past (Finished)
- Married Married (e.g., They married in 2011)
- Date Dated (e.g., She dated some women)
- Stop Stopped (e.g., They stopped being married)
Present (Current)
- Is Is (e.g., She is a lesbian)
- Date Dates (e.g., She dates women)
- Live Live (e.g., They still live in the same house)
Quick Rule: To talk about things that happened before, we often add -ed to the action word. To talk about now, we use the word as it is, or add an -s for one person.
