A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. In Tshivenda, just like in English, sentences start with a capital letter and end with a full stop, question mark, or exclamation mark. Today, we will learn how to recognize these parts and make our sentences clear and correct.
Let's look at the sentence: 'mukoma u a funa tshikolo'. This sentence is missing a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. The correct sentence should be: 'Mukoma u a funa tshikolo.' Notice how we started with a capital letter and ended with a full stop.
In groups, let's create sentences using the words provided: 'mukoma', 'tshikolo', 'u', 'funa'. Each group will write their sentence on the board. Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After writing, we will read each sentence together and check for any mistakes.
Now, it's your turn! I will give you a worksheet with sentences that have mistakes. Your task is to find the mistakes and correct them. Pay attention to the capital letters and punctuation. Once you finish, we will review the answers together.
