Communication would be impossible if everyone made their own language. Learning a language properly is very important. The basic (4) v ( ...) of English is not very large, and only about 2.000 words are needed to (5) s (speak) it quite well. But the more words you know, the more (6) i (influence) you can (7) e (exercise) and the more precise you can be about their meaning. Words are the most we use in communicating what we want to say. The way We (8) s (say)the words is also important. Our tone of (9) v (...) can express many emotions which show (10) w (whether) we are pleased or angry, for instance.

 I couldn't find 4 and 9.

Don't you think that this type of exercises odd?

Thank you.

In my view (6) and (7) are also wrong and should read "the more ideas you can express".

I think this is a fun exercise!
