Effective speaking skills, like reading and listening, do not come naturally to most people. This means one has to work on these skills consciously in order to become better at them. Reading does not just involve the eyes, nor does listening just involve the ears. Likewise, speaking is not just about moving the mouth. In other words, speaking, reading, and listening are a whole body experience.
This module on speaking is divided into two parts. The first part involves a discussion of the types of sentences according to structure, particularly the simple sentence and the compoundsentence.
The second part deals with the rules on subject-verb agreement which govern the construction of basic sentences such as the simple
sentence.
Furthermore, this module also includes a discussion of the use of the active and passive voice of the verb; the object; the use of reflexive and intensive pronouns; and lastly, how to express opinions using some common start-up phrases.
