Learning

⚽ The 'Now' and 'Before' Split

In this text, we see a clear difference between things that happened in the past and things happening right now. This is the key to moving to A2.

1. Things that are finished (Past) Look at these words: had, lost, won, went. They tell us about a completed action. → They had eight managers (It's over). → The club lost money (It happened).

2. Things happening now (Present) Look at these words: is, are, wants. They tell us about the current situation. → Manchester United is doing better (Right now). → Fans are angry (Current feeling).

3. The 'Leaving' Pattern Notice the word leaving. When we use is/are + verb-ing, it means something is happening at this moment or very soon:

  • Casemiro is leaving →\rightarrow He is in the process of going away.
  • Players are leaving →\rightarrow It is happening now.
