Division of sense groups depends on the identification of parts of sentences, which make convenient units of sense. The separation of units is according to some grammatical cues. The sense units are introduced by grammatical words such as relative pronoun, conjunction and preposition. Separating the particles from the clauses to which they belong will affect both meaning and fluency. Now, listen to the sentences in Activity 7.Help students have a basic idea of sense group. Play the tape and get them to listen to and repeat after the tape.
