WHAT IS LANGUAGE...a discussion.

Any language has basically three parts: Words, Expressions and Sentences. Words and sentences are more common when we speak....even we use sentence parts also called phrases or verses in speech. Writing involves using proper structures obeying the grammar rules of that language. 

LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT

Language gives you a frame to form thoughts that can be communicated and understood with clarity and simplicity. In English language we have basically four types of sentences to convey thoughts about our STATE, POSSESSION,ACTION  and REALITY(OBJECTIVE sentences)...SPAR in short. So the frame to form thoughts in English language can also be called SPAR. 

Now let's look at the different types of sentences in the three categories of time ie., PRESENT, PAST and FUTURE.

STATE

How's your job?

How was your job in the beginning?

How long have you been in this job?

Will you be at the place next year also?

POSSESSION

Do you have free time in office?

Did you have free time yesterday?

Will you have any holidays this week?

ACTION

Where do you work?

Do you like your job?

Are you working in your office now?

Are you leaving early today?

Have you completed today's work?

How long have you been working on this project?

When did you join this company?

Were you studying before joining here?

Will you finish this work tomorrow?

Will you be taking a half day leave tomorrow?

REALITY

How many people are there in your office?

How many people were there in your office last year?

How many people will be there in your office next year?

PASSIVE VOICE SENTENCES

Are you given feed backs every week by your clients?

Is somebody being interviewed today at our office?

Have you been asked to give a presentation today?

Were you called for the meeting yesterday?

Who was being felicitated yesterday in the afternoon function?

Will you be given any new assignments next week?

MODAL VERB SENTENCES

SPEECH GAMES

How to play the game: All the teams would come to the front, one by one and give a speech with each member saying a sentence about a SONG, a FICTIONAL CHARACTER, a dish etc. The teams listen to the speech and then make a guess about the possible answers after discussions with their members. They write the answers on a paper and submit before the speech giving team for verification. The team that gave the speech goes through all the answers and gives points to the teams according to their answers.

Sample speeches for the teams:

"Sung by M.G. Sreekumar, composed by S.P. Venkatesh, written by Bichu Thirumala, and enacted by Jagadeesh, this is a light-hearted, slow, solo Malayalam song about the little joys of life. Shot in Kodaikanal, the song has poetic lyrics."

"Even though he sports a thick, well-groomed moustache and traditional Kerala attire, consisting of a white mundu with a light-colored shirt, he speaks Malayalam with a rural tone, displaying a rustic and rooted persona, and comes across as a confident middle-aged man with in-depth understanding of Carnatic music and Kalaripayattu, Kerala's own traditional martial art culture."

"A sweet, healthy, vegetarian, traditional Kerala snack made from rice flour, jaggery, and coconut through processes like kneading and steaming for 10-15 minutes, commonly available in most Malayalee food joints."
