Gwen has four main ways of chronologising life events. Everything has either happened or will happen:
or
(I particularly love the last, which is generally used in the syntax: "Long Time Ago: I did X", as in "Long Time Ago: Daddy and I had ice cream." And sometimes "Long Time Ago" is augmented with the locational maker: "In (sometimes "At") Heidelberg".) "Long Time Ago" can be anything from "3 days ago" to "more than a year ago".
- Yesterday.
- Tomorrow.
- Saturday.
