Court Looks at Old Printing Press Case
Introduction
A court in Bombay is checking why a printing press was destroyed in 2016. This press was important because Dr. B. R. Ambedkar started it.
Main Body
Prakash Ambedkar and other people say the city destroyed the building illegally. They say some leaders lied about the building to break it. About 400 people helped destroy the press. They lost old papers and a special flag. The building fell between midnight and 7:00 AM. The judges say this is very strange. Usually, the city does not destroy buildings at night. The police did not stop the work. Anand Ambedkar called the police, but they did not help. The judges are angry because the police did not give a good answer.
Conclusion
The police and city leaders must now write letters to the court. The next meeting is on June 15.

π The "Past Time" Pattern
In this story, everything happened before now. To tell these stories in English, we add -ed to the action word.
Look at these changes:
- Help Helped
- Call Called
- Destroy Destroyed
β οΈ The "Rule Breakers" (Irregular Words)
Some words are lazy. They don't use -ed. They change their whole shape instead. You just have to memorize them!
| Now | Then (Past) |
|---|---|
| Say | Said |
| Lose | Lost |
| Fall | Fell |
Quick Tip for A2: If you see a date (like 2016) or a time (like midnight), you almost always need to use these "Past Time" words.
