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. For example, 'Ndi khou livhuwa' means 'I am happy.' It is important to use correct punctuation to make our sentences clear.
Let's look at the sentence: 'ndivhuwani'. This sentence is missing a capital letter and a full stop. The correct version is 'Ndi vhuwani.' Now, let's practice correcting another sentence together: 'mukoma u khou shuma'. How can we fix it? We should start with a capital letter and add a full stop at the end.
Now, I will give you some words: 'mukoma', 'u', 'khou', 'tshimbila'. Can you arrange these words to form a correct sentence? Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Once you have your sentence, share it with your partner and check if you used correct punctuation.
I will give you a short paragraph with some mistakes. Your task is to read it carefully and find the errors. Here is the paragraph: 'ndivhuwani ndi khou shuma. mukoma u khou dzhia.' Please rewrite the paragraph with the correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish, share your corrected version with the class.
