Grammar is the set of rules that helps us use language correctly. In Setswana, just like in any language, we need to pay attention to how we form our sentences. This includes using the right words in the right order and ensuring we use punctuation marks like full stops, commas, and question marks. Today, we will explore how to make our sentences clear and correct.
Let’s look at some sentences together. For example, 'Ke rata go ja apple' is incorrect because 'apple' should be 'apole' in Setswana. The correct sentence is 'Ke rata go ja apole.' Notice how we corrected the word and made sure it fits the language rules. We will practice more examples to help us understand how to spot mistakes.
In groups, you will receive a set of jumbled words. Your task is to arrange them into a correct sentence. For example, if you have the words 'go', 'ja', 'ke', 'apole', you should arrange them to say 'Ke ja apole.' After you form your sentences, we will share them with the class and discuss any corrections needed.
Now, you will work individually on a short text that contains several grammatical errors. Your job is to read the text carefully, find the mistakes, and rewrite it correctly. Pay attention to punctuation and spacing. Once you finish, we will review your corrections together as a class.

This sentence follows the correct structure and uses the right word order.
Answer: Question mark.
A question mark indicates that a sentence is asking something.
Answer: Ke a go rata.
The first option is correct because it includes the full stop at the end.

Answer: Lefeloe.

Answer: Commas.
Commas help to separate items and make sentences clearer.
Answer: Ke a ja apole.
This sentence is missing a full stop at the end.
Answer: Read the text carefully.
Reading the text helps to identify errors and understand the content.
