Introduction

In Delhi and Faridabad, the government wants to build a new high road. This road has six lanes. It will help cars move faster. Drivers will save a lot of time. In Uttar Pradesh, the government is building a long road from the Nepal border to the south. This project connects many cities. They are now buying the land for these roads.

Conclusion

These states are making old bridges safe and building new roads for people.

🧱 The "Action Now" Pattern

Look at how we describe things happening right now in the story:

  • Governments are fixing bridges.
  • Bihar is building a road.
  • Government is building a long road.

How it works: [Am / Is / Are] + [Action word ending in -ing]

Quick Guide:

  • I →\rightarrow am working
  • He/She/It/Bihar →\rightarrow is working
  • They/Governments →\rightarrow are working

🗺️ Direction & Connection Words

To reach A2, you need to describe where things go. The text uses these simple patterns:

  1. From →\rightarrow To: "from the Nepal border to the south"
  2. Before: "before the rain comes"

Try this logic: extStartPoint→End Point ext{Start Point} \rightarrow \text{End Point} (Example: I drive from home to school.)
