In language class, John was dozing off at his desk when the teacher suddenly called him up: "John, create a question sentence for me."

John rubbed his eyes, uncertain: "Teacher, are you asking me?"

Teacher: "Very good. Now make an imperative sentence."

John: "Please repeat it again."

"Next, create an exclamatory sentence."

John put his head down and said, "It's too difficult! I can't do it."

The teacher nodded in satisfaction and said, "Excellent answer, you can sit down now."

Moral: Sometimes it's okay to admit when you don't know something or when you're struggling. It's better to ask for help or clarification rather than pretending to know or understand something.
