How to determine if a list of words exists adjacent to each other in a string?

Question

I have a sentence and a list of substrings. How can I check the exact substring occurs in that sentence or not?

For example:

Credit card customers will be allowed interest-free installment plans for all school fee payments as well as grocery purchases with no processing fees for up to six months.

and now I have a list of words

["credit card customers","school fee payment","six months"].

How can I check if these substrings exist in above string?

Is this what you mean?

string = 'Credit card customers will be allowed interest-free installment plans for all school fee payments as well as grocery purchases with no processing fees for up to six months.'
listing = ["credit card customers","school fee payment","six months"]

def adj_or_not(index1,index2):
    if listing[index1] + listing[index2] in string:
        return True
    else:
        return False

adj_or_not(0,1)

Output:

False
