EC FLUENCY

Fluency in English or any other language is not just about asking or answering questions...it's more than that. In fact fluency is actually sustaining a speech, conversation, discussion, interview, a paragraph, an essay etc. It is making a combination of sentences to give opinions, views, to argue, to express, to voice our thoughts etc. So unless we have a wide range of sentences at our command plus a good vocabulary plus a nice awareness of things happening around fluency will not come easily to us. Given below is the fluency chart to give us a summary of all the different types of sentences, of the most basic type, essential in any conversation.
