Introduction

India had elections in three states. The BJP party won in Haryana and West Bengal. The Congress party won in Kerala.

Main Body

In Haryana, the BJP won most city elections. Many people voted for them. The leaders say this is because they want to build better roads and schools. In West Bengal, the BJP won 206 seats. They are now the government. The new leader, Suvendu Adhikari, uses a computer program to show his work. He also spends less money on cars. In Kerala, the UDF party won 102 seats. But the party members are angry. They cannot agree on who should be the leader. Some people put posters on walls to show they are unhappy.

Conclusion

The BJP is now very strong in Haryana and West Bengal. In Kerala, the UDF won, but the party has problems with its leaders.

Learning

🚩 THE 'STATE OF BEING' PATTERN

In this text, we see how to describe a group or a person using the word IS and ARE.

The Simple Rule:

1 Person/Thing $\rightarrow$ is
2+ People/Things $\rightarrow$ are

Examples from the story:

"The BJP is now very strong" $\rightarrow$ (One party = is)
"Party members are angry" $\rightarrow$ (Many people = are)
"This is because..." $\rightarrow$ (One reason = is)

Quick Swap for A2 learners: If you want to talk about your friends, don't say "My friends is happy." Say: "My friends are happy."

Pro Tip: Use is/are to describe a feeling or a fact immediately.
