Introduction

Police caught people for two old crimes. Some people killed others in India and Canada.

Main Body

In India, police found old bones in a house. They used DNA tests to find the woman. Two men, Shamshuddin and Iqbal, killed her in 1992. They hid the body under the ground for 30 years. In Canada, three men killed Arnold and Joanne De Jong in 2022. The men worked for a cleaning company. They wanted money from the victims. The court in Canada looked at DNA and phones. The judge said the three men planned the crime. The men lied, but the judge did not believe them.

Conclusion

The men in India are in jail. The men in Canada will get their punishment on May 28.

🕰️ The 'Past' Pattern

To talk about things that already happened, we often change the end of the word.

Look at these changes:

  • Find →\rightarrow Found
  • Kill →\rightarrow Killed
  • Hide →\rightarrow Hid
  • Want →\rightarrow Wanted
  • Lie →\rightarrow Lied

Why this matters for A2: If you want to tell a story or report a fact (like a police report), you cannot use the present. You must use these 'past' versions.

Simple Rule: Most words just need -ed at the end. Some special words (like find or hide) change completely.

Quick Example from text: "The men lied, but the judge did not believe them."
