This book is intended to teach the students to think more like native speakers through the drilling of sentence patterns . They thereby develop the subconscious habit of thinking immediately in complete sentences rather than stringing together words. Native speakers find it difficult to understand incorrect sentence patterns. They often cannot guess the real meaning. With each pattern in this book, students drill the right words in the right places. The patterns given here are idiomatic and commonly used in real life situations . In addition to practicing the models in the book, students are encouraged to use vocabulary they already know to create new sentences for situations that come from their own day to day experiences.
