Lesson

Distinguish statement, question, command and exclamation by grammar and purpose, not marks alone.
Before teaching
Say whether 'Come here' asks for an action or information.
Directed source edges are preserved, not assumed completed. If the readiness probe is difficult, model with support and record supported practice instead of independent evidence.
