I cycle to school every day.

A sentence does not always have all parts.

Parts can also be really long or really short.

Work in pairs and make sentences

1. Every pair gets a couple of cards.
   Be very careful with the cards! I need them back.
   
   
2. Count the cards. Do you have 10?
   
   
3. Check the words on the cards. Are there any difficult words?
   Let's check:

Which words are difficult?

Work in pairs and make sentences

• Work with your neighbour.
  
  
• Use all the cards to make 2 sentences.
  
  
• Write down the two sentences you came up with.
  
  
• Put the cards back in the plastic.
