🏀 Talking about the Past vs. Now

Look at how the story changes time. This is the secret to moving from A1 to A2.

1. Things that already happened (Past) We add -ed to the action word to show it is finished.

  • Play →\rightarrow Played
  • Pass →\rightarrow Passed
  • Score →\rightarrow Scored

2. Things happening or true now (Present) We use the word exactly as it is, or add an -s if we talk about one person.

  • The team is great.
  • The owner wants to win.
  • The players work together.

💡 Quick Tip: If you see -ed, the game is over. If you see -s or is, the game is still going!
