Tips
To deepen Monisola's understanding of sentences and their parts, encourage her to write her own examples of each type of sentence classifying them appropriately. Engage her in interactive activities such as sentence scrambles or sentence construction games to reinforce the function of verbs and sentence classification. Additionally, exploring the emotional tone and purpose behind sentence types (exclamatory expressing excitement, volitive expressing wishes) through role-play or storytelling can bring the grammar concepts to life and foster a practical appreciation of language use.
