Sound Block

                 Sound blocks are in pink colour. They control sound functions. We can add music to our
                 Scratch project by using Sound blocks. You can even record your voice and save it. You can
                 play it with a sprite.

                                 block plays  a  sound  without  pausing  the  script.
                   The sound options are “Meow” or recorded sound.

                                      block plays the sound by pausing the script
                   until  the  sound  has  finished  playing.  The  sound  options  are
                   “Meow” or any recorded sounds.

                    To stop all sounds being played on all Sprites, use              block.

                              block clears all existing sound effects.
                 Events Block


                 An event is a happening which occurs due to some other things
                 that happened before it. So, Events block actually control how
                 the blocks in a script will start to run, if a particular action is
                 done. Events blocks control events and the starting of scripts.
                 They are yellow in colour.

                            block activates the script when the green flag or Go
                   button is clicked.

                                 block activates the script when the chosen key is
                   pressed. You can choose from the given keys or you can choose the option any.

                              block activates the script when you click the sprite.

                 Control Block


                 They have looping blocks which are used when the same blocks have to be repeated for a
                 number of times. The most commonly used control blocks are:

                                block pauses the running of the script for the number of seconds given in the
                   block. You can use this block when two move or speak blocks are coming one after the
                   other.
                     The repeat block repeats a set of blocks for a given number of times. This

                   block is also used to draw shapes where we have to give the same blocks
                   again and again for a number of times.
                                         The forever block keeps on repeating a set of blocks till the stop button
                                      is clicked. This block is similar to repeat block and expands automatically
                                      to accommodate the blocks you snap inside it.
