Exercise No. 5  
One morning in an English class in Delhi, the teacher wrote three headings on the board: nouns, verbs and adjectives. She told the children that each of these word groups helps us describe the world in a different way. To show this, she drew a picture of a playground with a tree in the corner and a yellow sun in the sky. Below the picture, she left spaces and asked the class to add a word for each thing. Riya raised her hand and said that a person can also run or jump, so doing words belong in the verb group. The teacher then wrote a short line about a puppy that can sit under a tree and play near a ball. She asked the children to choose a noun for the puppy and an adjective for the tree. Later, small groups worked together to build sentences. One group wrote about a bus that would stop past the school gate every morning. Another group described a bag that could hang quietly on a hook. By the end of the lesson, the board was full of colourful sentences, and everyone understood that sorting words into nouns, verbs and adjectives makes writing clearer and much more fun.
