Grammar is the set of rules that helps us to communicate clearly. In Sesotho, just like in any language, we need to use the correct words and punctuation to make our sentences understandable. For example, every sentence should start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Today, we will learn how to spot mistakes in sentences and how to fix them.
Let's look at this sentence: 'ke a etela mosadi.' This sentence is correct, but if we say 'ke a etela mosadi' without a full stop, it is incomplete. We will practice adding punctuation to sentences. For example, 'Ke a etela mosadi.' Now it is correct! Let's try another one together: 'Lerato o ja.' What punctuation do we need at the end?
In groups, you will receive a set of words. Your task is to create sentences using those words. Remember to start with a capital letter and end with the correct punctuation. After you write your sentences, we will share them with the class. I will help you check for any mistakes in grammar and punctuation.
Now, you will work on your own to edit a short paragraph. The paragraph has several mistakes. Your job is to read it carefully, find the mistakes, and correct them. Pay attention to punctuation and spacing. Once you finish, write the corrected paragraph neatly on a new page.
