Content :
First, let’s start with some words in a box. Let’s say we have the words “The cat sat on the mat” in the box.
To form a sentence, we need to put the words in the correct order. In this case, the correct order is: “The cat sat on the mat.”
Now, let’s try another example. Let’s say we have the words “I like to play with my friends” in the box.
To form a sentence, we need to put the words in the correct order. In this case, the correct order is: “I like to play with my friends.”
It’s important to remember that in a sentence, the words need to be in a certain order to make sense. For example, if we changed the order of the words in our previous example to “My friends with play to like I,” it wouldn’t make sense as a sentence.
So, to form a sentence from words in a box, we need to:
- Look at the words in the box.
- Put the words in the correct order to make a complete sentence.
- Check that the sentence makes sense.
