Introduction

The National Testing Agency (NTA) is checking a problem at a medical exam center in Surat.

Main Body

A girl went to take a medical exam. The staff told her to take off her religious necklace. This was wrong. The NTA rules say students can wear religious items. A video showed the girl's father. He was angry because the staff did not follow the rules. Then, the teacher let the girl enter the room with her necklace. The NTA says this mistake is not okay. Most students had no problems. But this one center did not follow the rules from April 30. Many students took this exam across the country.

Conclusion

The NTA is waiting for a report. Then they will decide how to punish the center.

πŸ’‘ The 'Action' Pattern

In this story, we see how to describe things that happened in the past. To reach A2, you need to move from is/are to was/did.

The Change:

  • Present: The staff tell her β†’\rightarrow Past: The staff told her.
  • Present: He is angry β†’\rightarrow Past: He was angry.

Simple Logic: When we talk about a specific day (like April 30) or a finished event, we change the word to the 'Past' form.

Key Words from the Text:

  • Went (Past of Go)
  • Showed (Past of Show)
  • Did (Past of Do)

Quick Rule: If the action is finished β†’\rightarrow Use the past form.

Example: "The teacher let the girl enter." (It happened and it is over).
