Would it be a sentence or a phrase? If a sentence, no, it would be incorrect. If a phrase, yes, it would be correct. I like the phrase!

It is always back home and not back to home as to is not added before home.

Not necessarily. Only use a comma when the final please is a request. For example, we say Do as you please; but Sit down, please.

Contractions can be quite confusing and somewhat irregular for ESL students. Tricky enough for them to feel that sticking to more standard form is easy enough while still being understandable. Also, some languages such as Spanish don't often require the equivalent of an "it" before an "is"

As one who was forced to study this branch of grammar at university, 30 years ago, I can tell you the only 2 logical elements (and, funny enough, the only 2 I can still remember!):

1. it attached to nouns several characteristics marked plus or minus:

i.e. school: + concrete, - animate, + countable

bat: + animate, + countable, + concrete a.s.o.

2. it introduced 2 notions: the above-the surface structure and the below-the surface structure. To be more specific, the surface below the surface showed how the sentence used to look like before it got transformed into a different structure (i.e. the Active Sentence was then turned into a Passive Voice structure).

"Even though" is a common phrase used in formal and informal contexts to introduce a contrast or concession in a sentence. It is not considered colloquial; rather, it is a standard English phrase.

A word is stressed when it is pronounced with more emphasis or prominence compared to the other syllables in the word. In English, stress often involves a combination of factors such as louder volume, higher pitch, and longer duration on the stressed syllable. You can identify the stressed syllable by listening for these cues when a word is spoken.

No, "queen" is a one-syllable word.

To convert complete sentences into phrases, you can remove unnecessary words, such as articles (a, an, the), conjunctions (and, but), and auxiliary verbs (is, are). Keep only the essential words that convey the main idea of the sentence.

"Your birthday is on a Sunday next year."

The prepositional phrase in this sentence is "on a Sunday."

You can use transitive verbs to find a direct object in a sentence. Transitive verbs require a direct object to complete their meaning.

Some examples of subordinate clauses include adverbial clauses (e.g. "because she was tired"), relative clauses (e.g. "who lives next door"), and noun clauses (e.g. "what you said"). Subordinate clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences because they rely on the main clause for context and meaning.

Multi-stop orders should typically be loaded in the order they will be delivered. This helps ensure that you are able to unload items in a logical and efficient manner at each stop along the route. Start by loading items to be delivered first near the back of the vehicle and work your way forward with items for subsequent stops.

Both idioms mean essentially the same thing and can be used interchangeably. They are used to indicate that something is true or effective in all practical respects, even if not technically or officially.

Both "simpler" and "more simple" are grammatically sound.

Simple had an unstressed vowel in ending the second sylable so using the -er patter is acceptible.

More simple is technically sound, but it is unusual with shorter adjectives to use the superlative or comparative with more.

Both "reassign" and "re-assign" are commonly used in English, but "reassign" is generally preferred over "re-assign" as it is considered more concise and clear.

No, the correct usage would be "sparked by" something, indicating the cause or source of the spark. For example, "The argument was sparked by a misunderstanding."

VA ca tion

No, the word "crinkled" does not have a silent letter. Each letter is pronounced when saying the word.

No, "thunk" is not the past participle of "think". It is not even a word. The correct form would be, "Who would have thought it?" Sometimes "Who'd have thunk it" is used for humorous effect, with the understanding that the speaker knows it is not correct English.
