What is Sentence Formation?  

Sentence formation in English is like putting together building blocks to create clear and meaningful statements. It's the fun puzzle of arranging words correctly, just like building a story. When we form sentences, we follow certain rules, like starting with a capital letter and ending with a punctuation mark, such as a full stop or question mark.

Think of words as little helpers, each with its job – some describe things (adjectives), some show actions (verbs), and others tell us who or what (nouns). Putting them in the correct order can help them express their thoughts and ideas in a way that others can easily understand. So, when they master sentence formation in English, they're becoming a word architect, creating their own bridges of communication to share stories, ask questions, and express feelings.
