1. Things that happened and finished (Past)
- Worked → He did this in Arizona.
- Broke → He did this before.
- Stopped → The league did this.
2. Things that are happening now (Present)

- Says → Keith Pelley is speaking now.
- Wants → Auston Matthews feels this way now.

- He says
- He wants
- He works
Compare it:
- Past: He worked (Finished)
