Introduction

Courts in India are punishing people for old and new terror plans.

Main Body

A court looked at a plan from 1993. Bad men sent guns and bombs by boat from Pakistan to India. The court sent twelve men to prison for five to seven years. Some leaders are still hiding. Now, the police are fighting a new group called ISIS. Three men wanted to use a dangerous poison called ricin. One man made a secret lab in a house in Hyderabad. These men worked with people in other countries. They tried to find young people to help them. They also used secret money for their plans.

Conclusion

India is finishing old court cases and stopping new dangers.

πŸ•’ Time Shifts: Then vs. Now

Look at how the story changes from the past to the present. This is the key to A2 speaking.

The Past (Finished Actions)

  • Looked β†’ Sent β†’ Worked
  • Pattern: Word + -ed (or a special change like send β†’ sent).
  • Usage: Use this for things that are over (like the 1993 plan).

The Present (Current Actions)

  • Are punishing β†’ Are fighting
  • Pattern: Am/Is/Are + Word + -ing.
  • Usage: Use this for things happening right now (like the police work today).

πŸ’‘ Quick Logic Tip: If you see a specific year (1993), use the -ed form. If you see the word "Now," use the -ing form.
