Introduction

Police in three states in India are investigating the deaths of three women.

Main Body

In Rajasthan, police arrested Gopi Singh Yadav. He hit his wife, Roli Devi, many times. Doctors say she died because of this violence. In Uttar Pradesh, a man named Altaf killed his wife, Yasmeen. He told police he killed her because he was jealous. He hid her body near a dam. In Madhya Pradesh, a woman named Twisha Sharma died. Police think her husband and father-in-law killed her for money. A special team is looking for the truth.

Conclusion

Police are still working on these three cases to find the truth.

⚡ The "Past Action" Pattern

To reach A2, you must describe things that already happened. Look at these words from the story:

  • arrested (arrest →\rightarrow arrested)
  • hit (hit →\rightarrow hit)
  • killed (kill →\rightarrow killed)
  • told (tell →\rightarrow told)
  • hid (hide →\rightarrow hid)

The Rule of Thumb: Most of the time, just add -ed to the end of the action word. Example: investigation →\rightarrow investigated.

The Tricky Ones: Some words change completely. You just have to memorize them!

  • Tell →\rightarrow Told
  • Hide →\rightarrow Hid

Quick Logic: Present (Now)→Past (Then)\text{Present (Now)} \rightarrow \text{Past (Then)} Police investigate→Police investigated\text{Police investigate} \rightarrow \text{Police investigated}
