You have understood this passage well.

Young Maharajah "was" scared that congress would destroy all of his pleasure.
I "am" able to write a good précis.
They "were" able to overcome all manpower and wealth.

You are not using the verb 'to be'(is/am/are) correctly. In fact you are not using it at all.
