For example, The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
                 disappeared.

                 Conjunction: A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses and indicates the relationship between the
                 elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and, but, or, nor, for,
                 so, yet, etc. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal: because, although, while, since,
                 etc. For example, The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
                 disappeared.
                 Interjection: An interjection is a word used to express emotion. It is often followed by an exclamation
                 mark. For example, Oh my god! The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then
                 she quickly disappeared.
                 Articles: An article is a word used to modify a noun, which is a person, place, object, or idea. Articles are
                 used before nouns to show whether the nouns are general or specific. ‘A/an’ and ‘The’ are the three types
                 of English articles. There are rules to help you decide which one to use, but first you need to know what
                 type of noun you are using. When you have a single, countable English noun, you must always have an
                 article before it. We cannot say “Please pass me pen.”, we must say “Please pass me the pen.” or “Please
                 pass me a pen”.

              Uncountable nouns don’t use ‘a’ or ‘an’. This is because you can’t count them. For example, advice is an
              uncountable noun. You can’t say “He gave me an advice.”, but you can say “He gave me some advice.” or “He
              gave me a piece of advice.”. You can use ‘the’ to make general things specific. You can use ‘the’ with any type
              of noun, be it plural or singular, countable, or uncountable. “Please pass me the pen.”, Here ‘the’ is used to
              make that pen specific. Some more example of using articles are as follows:

                            Used before a singular, countable noun starting   I saw a cat in the garden.
                 A
                            with a consonant sound.                           She has a dog.
                            Used before a singular, countable noun starting   She ate an apple for breakfast.
                 An
                            with a vowel sound.                               He is an engineer.
                            Used before specific or previously mentioned      The book on the table is mine.
                 The        nouns, both singular and plural, countable and    We went to the park yesterday.
                            uncountable.                                      The water is cold.



               SESSION             7   Writing Skills—Sentences


              Sentences are essential for clear communication, as they organise words into meaningful ideas. They help
              convey thoughts, information, and emotions effectively in both written and spoken forms.

                 SENTENCE

              A sentence is a group of words giving a complete thought. Sentences always start with a capital letter and
              end with a punctuation mark, such as a question mark, period, or exclamation mark.

              Parts of Sentence

              A sentence must contain a subject and a verb. Some sentences also contain an object.
                Subject: Refers to a person or thing that performs an action.
