The Systems & Language Skills of English (I went to London; I’ve been to London); (Foot; foots) are both Grammar systems because of the verb tense used. (Lend me $5. Could you possibly lend me $5?); (I’d rather not; no way); (Should; must) would each be Function. Each group communicates a particular purpose.

I would try to connect each skill in such a way that would hopefully enable her in taking notes for assignment and exams, interacting with students and teachers as well as understanding lectures, discussions and participating in discussions, and reading will offer her extensive knowledge that would be most beneficial.
