people together so you can talk about what is happening and learn from each other. Quite often one person will hear something another person may have missed so it is useful to share the learning.
Remember, while films are a valuable tool, they should be used in conjunction with other learning methods for a well-rounded language learning experience. And books also develop their characters much more and add multiple dimensions to them; such as detailing their emotions and thoughts. Books also improve your vocabulary. You may not notice it but while your reading a brilliant novel you are improving your spelling, punctuation and grammar. So a book can give readers more details and insight than a movie could while a film has the visuals and sounds that can't be replicated by a book. Both mediums have their own strengths and weaknesses but at the end of the day each person has their own preference for what type of entertainment they enjoy the most. References:

A sentence is a group of words that are joined together to mean something. A sentence is the basic unit of language. It expresses a complete thought. It does this by following the grammatical basic rules of syntax. For example: «Ram is walking».
A complete sentence has at least a subject and a main verb to state (declare) a complete thought. Short example: She walks. A subject is the noun (name) which is doing the main verb. The main verb is the activity that the subject is doing.
In English and many other languages, the first word of a written sentence has a capital letter. At the end of the sentence there is a punctuation mark depending on whether it is a statement, a question, a command, a request or an exclamation. The English language, in its elegant complexity, offers a diverse range of tools for crafting effective communication. Sentences, the building blocks of language, play a crucial role in conveying meaning and purpose. But beyond the simple act of stringing words together, understanding different types and structures of sentences empowers us to express ourselves with clarity, precision, and impact. Sentences can be categorized based on their function, or the specific purpose they serve within a text. These functional categories are known as sentence types.
1. Declarative Sentences: These are the workhorses of the language, stating facts or opinions and typically ending with a period (.).
«The sun shines brightly today.»
>«I believe everyone deserves a chance.»
2. Interrogative Sentences: As the name suggests, these sentences ask a question, seeking information or prompting a response. They often end with a question mark (?) but can also be phrased indirectly.
«What is your name?»
«Do you think we will see rain tomorrow?»
«I wonder if she will be attending the meeting.»
3. Imperative Sentences: These sentences give commands, instructions, or requests, urging the listener to take action. They can end with a period (.) or an exclamation point (!) for emphasis.
«Please close the door.»
«Turn off the lights before leaving!»
«Be kind to one another.»
4. Exclamatory Sentences: These sentences express strong emotions like excitement, surprise, anger, or joy, and typically end with an exclamation point (!).
> «Wow, that was an incredible performance!»
> «I can't believe it! We won the competition!»
> «Help! There's a fire!»
Understanding these core types of sentences allows you to choose the right tool for the job, ensuring your message is delivered with the intended purpose and tone.
Beyond their functional roles, sentences can also be classified based on their grammatical structure, which refers to how the words are arranged and connected. Here, we delve into the four primary structures:
1. Simple Sentences: These are the fundamental building blocks, containing only one independent clause, which can stand alone and express a complete thought.
«The cat sleeps on the rug.»
«She enjoys reading books.»
«It is raining outside.»
2. Compound Sentences: These sentences comprise two or more independent clauses joined together by coordinating conjunctions (like «and,» «but,» «or,» «nor,» «for,» «so,» and «yet»).
«The sun is shining, and the birds are singing.»
«He went to the store, but they were closed.»
«She can stay home, or she can come with us.»
3. Complex Sentences: These sentences contain one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses, which rely on the independent clause for complete meaning. Dependent clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions (like «because,» «since,» «although,» «while,» «until,» and «after»). «Because it was raining, we stayed inside.» «She went to the library, which was her favorite place.» «Although he was tired, he finished his work.»
Equipped with the knowledge of sentence types and structures, you can now embark on crafting clear, effective, and impactful English sentences. Here are some key takeaways: Match sentence type to purpose: Choose the appropriate sentence type (declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory) based on the desired outcome of your communication.
Vary sentence structure: Combine simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex structures to create a dynamic. References:

IMPORTANCE OF GRAMMAR IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Annotation
A standard language is a dialect that is promoted above other dialects in writing, education, and, broadly speaking, in the public sphere; it contrasts with vernacular dialects, which may be the objects of study in academic, descriptive linguistics but which are rarely taught prescriptively.
