The main motive of being able to rearrange is that you understand the different ways in which a sentence can be framed.
For instance, the last sentence:
- On the Annual Function day, they will be given prizes and certificates.
can also be frames as:
- They will be given prizes and certificates on the Annual Function day.
Rearranging can help one identify the different parts of a sentence, where each word should be placed, and in the end, help frame a meaningful sentence.
