Introduction

India started a military action called Operation Sindoor in May 2025. India did this because terrorists killed people in Pahalgam.

Main Body

India used planes and missiles to hit terror groups. They also attacked 11 airbases in Pakistan. Many Pakistani planes were destroyed. India and Pakistan did not agree on what happened. The USA said they helped stop the fight. India said they stopped because they won. India now wants to make more of its own weapons. They want to build more drones and buy more planes in India.

Conclusion

The fighting stopped on May 10, 2025. India showed that it can use its army to stop terrorists.

⏱️ The 'Past' Secret

Look at these words from the story: started, killed, used, attacked, destroyed, stopped.

They all have the same ending: -ed.

The Rule: When we talk about things that already happened (yesterday, last year, May 2025), we usually add -ed to the action word.

  • Start →\rightarrow Started
  • Use →\rightarrow Used
  • Stop →\rightarrow Stopped

🛠️ Building 'Ownership'

In the text, we see:

  • "India's Military Action"
  • "its own weapons"

When something belongs to a person or a country, we use 's or the word its.

Example:

  • The plane of India →\rightarrow India**'s** plane
  • The weapons of the country →\rightarrow its weapons
