Explanation:
- Language function means the vocabulary of a sentence playing a specific part.
- Each one of the sentences we use has a particular motive which can be seen according to the vocabulary used.
- Hello. I am Mohan. -introducing / describing people. This can be understood using the nouns and pronouns (I and Mohan) in it.
- This is Vasanth. -introducing / describing people. This can be understood using the nouns and pronouns (this and Vasanth) in it.
- Hello, may I introduce myself? -asking clarifying question. The question is about asking a specific clarification.
- Why did you do so? -asking informational question. The question is generalised with more verbs (did, do) in it.
- I am sorry to say this, but I must tell you that, what have done is wrong. -expressing and supporting opinion. In this sentence a person is telling her opinion and so there is also modal verb (must) used in it.
