Endless Possibilities

          I compiled these exercises based on the vocabulary found in Primary English Thematic Series  PETS Coursebook 1A and 1B.   (Curriculum Development Institute of Singapore)  (EPB Publishers)   

Language knowledge like Grammar and Phonetics is limited in scope but there are endless possibilities in creativity and the production of expressions / sentences based on these rules.     Vocabulary is an extensive component in the English language as there are endless possibilities in the coining of new words to express concepts,  ideas, feelings, opinions and thoughts.
