What this lesson teaches
Time moves from the past (already happened) to the present (now) to the future (will happen). We can put events in order.

Yesterday you were a baby learning to walk (past), today you go to school (present), and one day you'll be grown up (future).
Practice questions
- Name something from your past.
- What are you doing in the present?
- Put 'baby, kid, grown-up' in time order.

Pasado, presente y futuro
El tiempo avanza del pasado (lo que ya ocurrió) al presente (ahora) y al futuro (lo que va a pasar). Podemos ordenar los eventos en el tiempo.
Ejemplo: Ayer eras un bebé aprendiendo a caminar (pasado), hoy vas a la escuela (presente) y algún día serás adulto (futuro).
