Introduction

A group called the BLA is fighting. Another group, BSO-Azad, remembers people who died in the past.

Main Body

From April 25 to May 3, the BLA attacked eleven times. They attacked soldiers and trucks. They used bombs in three towns. Some soldiers died. The BLA also caught three intelligence workers. At the same time, the BSO-Azad wrote a letter. They remember four men who died in 2015. These men were Ejaz, Shahnawaz, Aftab, and Basit. The BSO-Azad says soldiers killed these men. They say this happens many times in the area. The government does not talk about this.

Conclusion

There is still a lot of fighting. People are still sad and angry about the past.

Learning

πŸ•’ Past vs. Present

Look at how the story changes from now to before.

The Past (It happened and finished) We add -ed to the action word:

  • Attack β†’ Attacked
  • Use β†’ Used
  • Die β†’ Died

The Present (It is happening now) We use the word as it is:

  • Fighting
  • Remember
  • Say

Quick Pattern: Past Action β†’\rightarrow Finished (e.g., "They attacked") Present Action β†’\rightarrow Continuing (e.g., "They say")
