Then → now → why
Questions about change and childhood test your tenses. Tense slips cost Grammar points.
- 1Then
The examiner is listening for tense
Childhood needs the past: played, went, was. The classic slip is "When I was young, I play…".
play → playedWhen I was a child, I play football every day.
When I was a child, I played football almost every day after school.
- 2Now
used to: past habits
used to + verb for things you did then but not now. The negative is didn't use to.
Then vs now in one sentenceI used to read comics a lot, but these days I hardly read anything on paper.
- 3Why it changed
Always say why it changed
The reason for the change is your extension: you moved, got busier, your phone changed things.
Now + whyNow I don't read books.
Now I mostly read on my phone, mainly because I have a long commute.
