Introduction

A UK court stopped a civil case against Andrew Tate. This happened because the police are starting a new criminal investigation.

Main Body

Four women say Andrew Tate hurt them. The police are looking at old reports from 2014 and 2015 again. The police have one million digital messages and files. Andrew and Tristan Tate want to come to the UK for the case. But they are afraid the police will arrest them. The government said no to their request for safety. Now, the brothers want to speak to the court from the USA. Andrew and Tristan Tate have many criminal charges in the UK and Romania. They are accused of human trafficking. The UK will wait for the Romanian courts to finish first.

Conclusion

The court will meet again in July. The main trial may happen before the end of the year.

πŸ•’ THE 'TIME' TRICK

To reach A2, you must see how we talk about the past and future. Look at these three patterns from the text:

1. Things that happened and finished (Past)

  • stopped β†’ hurt
  • said

2. Things happening now or generally (Present)

  • are starting (Happening now!)
  • have (A fact)
  • want (A feeling)

3. Things that will happen (Future)

  • will arrest
  • will wait
  • will meet
  • may happen

πŸ’‘ SIMPLE RULE: If you see 'will', look forward to the future. If you see '-ed' (like stopped), look back at the past.
