How the lesson starts: Speak in Complete Sentences

Calling Captain Juno
Hi friend! This is Captain Juno, a space cat. Juno talks to Mission Control on the radio. Control needs clear answers. So Juno speaks in whole sentences!
Use the question's words
A whole sentence tells who or what, and what about it. Control asks, what did you eat for lunch? Juno uses the words from the question. I ate space noodles for lunch. Not just noodles. A whole sentence!
Let's check three answers
Control asks, who is your co-pilot? Juno checks each answer. Zed. Just one word. Co-pilot Zed. Still a piece. My co-pilot is Zed. Who, plus what about it. That is whole! Watch out. A long answer can still be just a piece.
