lets say..
For future tense
1. Original:I will be going to school for reading, writing, and getting knowledge.
Precis: he would be going to school for study.
The word "will" with "Would"( is it so??)
For Present tense
I am going to school for reading, writing , and knowledge.
he was( should we change IS with WAS) going to school for study.
For past tense
I was going to school for reading, writing, and knowledge.
He had gone to school for study (Is it right)

sister i remember that i had suggested you to take a refresher of your basic grammar and subject verb agreement, no don't misunderstand me, your English is upto the mark but still it is always good to go back to things you had done a long time ago, it gets rusty as the time goes on...i have made just one correction, you see if there is something else wrong as well...

Salman i think it is really a naive approach, adverbs, adjectives are the words that describe the real story, what else would you write about then? About nouns, pronouns and prepositions? These parts of speech can never manifest the essence of something, the adjectives do.so brother i suggest you to practice the precis writing rather than relying on such shortcuts which i am afraid can make the things go awry...
