► Combine a verb with a direction word to form classroom phrases: sit + down → sit down; stand + up → stand up; come + in → come in.

► Combine ‘class’ and ‘room’ to form the compound noun ‘classroom’.

► Add ‘s’ to a verb when the subject is he, she, or a singular name: Kazi walks; the teacher enters.
