Слайд 2 If you can handle a full stop,
a comma, a dash or semicolon, you’re probably capable of
communicating absolutely everything necessary in English; if you’re able to boil water, you could also cook enough food to keep yourself fed, but wouldn’t you get really sick of eating nothing but boiled food? Being able to use a wide variety of punctuation marks is akin to good cooking: you’re able to control flavors and textures to make something amazing!

grammatical relations between words, phrases, pauses, and sentences.
