We’re plus two students, Sir
We come from HPS
We heard about you and came to you to learn from you
Grammar, grammar, would you please teach us? ... (This line should be repeated)

Noun, Adjective, Pronoun, Adverb, Verb and Conjunction.
What about the other two, you didn’t mention them?
The other two are Preposition and Interjection, Sir

A sentence can be divided into Subject and Predicate
The doer is the Subject and Predicate should have a Verb
The other way to divide it is Phrases and Clauses
While the Phrase has no finite verb a Clause should have one

PS.
In 1995, we were asked by Prof. Balagopal to write an assignment (part of Media Tutorial), a song, that should be helpful for +2 students. This was part of our research programme in EFLU (formerly known as CIEFL). I had no idea how to do that for six days out of the one week we were given. On day six, when I was returning home by bus, the gentle breeze near the window seat reminded me of AR Rahman’s HAMMA HAMMA tune from the movie Bombay. Well, this is a Song I wrote for that tune.
When submitted, our professor asked each one of us to sing the songs we wrote. This was another shock! When my turn came, I just closed my eyes and sang it. When I opened my eyes, I saw our professor put the marks sheet before me and asked me to enter the score I wanted!😀
More surprising was my joining in The HPS and working there for a few years!😊
And now, I'm playing my second innings in HPS! 🫠

Childhood, youth and middle age are keen stages of learning. I believe, the unlearning is a way to learn as we move forward from here, just as a satellite would detach itself from a few components to reach its destination. In this process, we might leave a few footsteps!
Hence the effort to store a few ideas in English, Telugu and Hindi.
