For example • I have found my pen • Like this, sentences can be written using bag, watch, money, bicycle. • Using 'lost' five sentences can be made. • Using my, your, our, their, her, his '6' Sentences can be made. • So totally using the verbs 'found' and 'lost' 60 sentences can be made using the subject • Like wise using we, you, they, she, the, 300' Sentences can be made. • So '360' Sentences can be written from the table. • Instead of writing all the sentences students can be practiced to use language and orally they can present what they observe in tables.
