⚡ The "Right Now" Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to talk about things happening these days.

The Secret: Use am/is/are + verb-ing.

Examples from the text:

India is building... $\rightarrow$ (Action is happening now)
Companies are building... $\rightarrow$ (Action is happening now)

🛠️ Word Swap: "Make" vs. "Build"

Beginners often confuse these two. Here is the simple difference based on the article:

Build $\rightarrow$ $\to$ For big things like factories or cities.
- Example: India is building a Drone City.
Make $\rightarrow$ $\to$ For objects or products.
- Example: These factories will make planes.

🌍 Quick Logic: From 'Buying' to 'Selling'

Look at how the story changes over time:

Past $\rightarrow$ India bought (from others). Present $\rightarrow$ India makes (at home). Future $\rightarrow$ India sells (to others).
