### sense in the lessons

In English lessons and SATs, sentences must be «grammatically correct», with the right verb forms, agreement, and punctuation. Teachers mark writing for grammar. A sentence can be grammatically correct but still make no sense, as in «Colourless green ideas sleep furiously».
