Each chapter opens with an activity, often a picture or a short conversation, before the rule. Chapter 5 starts by asking you to write the actions people are doing in a picture. Chapter 8 starts with a conversation between Pranoy and Rohit, and Chapter 9 with a newspaper’s weekly zodiac predictions. Chapter 10 has you describe what Mr Prasad’s family has been doing since evening. That is why the solutions pages work worksheet by worksheet rather than as one answer key.
