Grammar is the set of rules that helps us use a language correctly. In isiZulu, we need to pay attention to how we form sentences, use punctuation, and space our words. Today, we will learn how to spot mistakes in sentences and how to fix them. We will also practice writing our own sentences correctly.
Let's look at the sentence: 'uThandi uthanda ukudla.' This sentence is correct, but if we say 'uThandi uthanda ukudla u,' it is incorrect. We need to remove the extra 'u' at the end. Now, let's practice correcting sentences together. I will write a sentence on the board, and you will help me find the mistakes.
Now, I will give you some words, and you will work in pairs to create sentences. Use the words: 'umfana', 'ujabule', 'ukudlala'. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning of your sentence and a full stop at the end. Once you have your sentences, we will share them with the class.
For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite food. After writing, check your sentences for any mistakes. Make sure you have used correct punctuation and that your words are spaced properly. Once you finish, I will come around to help you with any corrections.

A full stop (.) is used to indicate the end of a statement.
Answer: Uthandi uthanda ukudla.
