A full sentence tells a complete idea.

In this lesson you will:
  • Tell the difference between a word and a sentence.
  • Say a full sentence about a picture.
  • Ask a clear question.

From Word to Sentence

One word: ball. A full sentence: I have a red ball. The sentence tells us who and what.

  • Word: dog. Sentence: The dog is running.
  • Word: water. Sentence: I want some water.
  • Word: book. Sentence: This book is mine.

Ask and Answer

A question asks for information. Where is my bag? An answer can be a full sentence: Your bag is on the chair.

Picture talk

Look at a picture of a family eating. Say: "The family is eating rice."

Ask: "Where are they sitting?"

Note Give children time to finish a sentence. Rushing them can make them speak in single words.

Practice

  1. Make a full sentence about your shoes.
  2. Ask an adult one question using "where".
  3. Describe your favourite food in two full sentences.

Recap

A full sentence shares a complete idea. Speaking in sentences helps others understand you.
