Introduction

A high court in Australia says a man from Iran must leave the country. He will go to Nauru.

Main Body

The man is called TCXM. He killed his wife in 1999. He lived in a prison for eight years because Iran did not want him back. Australia has a deal with Nauru. Australia pays Nauru a lot of money. Nauru takes people who cannot go home to their own countries. TCXM did not want to go. He said Nauru has bad hospitals for his asthma. He also said the move was a punishment. The judges said no to these ideas.

Conclusion

TCXM has no more legal help. He will go to Nauru soon.

πŸ’‘ The 'Action' Word (Past Tense)

In the story, we see things that already happened. To talk about the past, we often just add -ed to the word.

  • Call β†’ Called
  • Live β†’ Lived

Wait! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Say β†’ Said
  • Kill β†’ Killed (follows the rule!)
  • Do β†’ Did
  • Go β†’ Went (though the story uses 'will go' for the future)

🌍 Places and People

Notice how we use words to show where someone is from:

  • Iran (The Country) β†’\rightarrow Iranian (The Person)
  • Australia (The Country) β†’\rightarrow Australian (The Person)

πŸš€ Quick Look: 'Will'

When the story says "He will go," it is talking about the future.

Will + Action Word = Future

Example: He will leave soon.
