Fifth grade, teaching parts of the sentence - subject, predicate, object - and the three kinds of sentences - simple (just subject and verb), simple-extended (subject, verb and one more clause) and complex (joined sentences, multiple verbs). After the theory was laid out with a few examples,
teacher: alright... Mujo, let's hear an example of a simple sentence.
Mujo: Ox sings.
T: Though it doesn't make much sense, it is grammatically correct. Now make a simple-extended sentence out of it.
M: Ox sings on a twig.
T: Good... now what is the ox in that sentence?
M: The singer.
