⏳ Summit: Then-vs-Now Contrasts
Marco's two kitchen photos power a full skills session on then-vs-now contrasts. Learners build the frame used to + but now + present simple, choose between used to and past simple, and measure change with still and anymore. The lesson closes with a partner interview, a 50–80-word contrast paragraph and an 8-question quiz.
