Grammar is the set of rules that helps us use a language correctly. In Tshivenda, we need to pay attention to how we form sentences, use verbs, and apply punctuation marks. For example, a complete sentence must have a subject and a verb. We will learn how to identify mistakes in sentences and how to correct them.
Let’s look at the sentence: 'Ndi a funa u shuma.' (I like to work.) If we want to ask a question, we can change it to 'Ndi a funa u shuma?' (Do I like to work?). Notice how the punctuation changes the meaning. We will practice changing statements into questions and ensuring we use the correct punctuation.
In groups, students will receive a set of sentences with errors. For example, 'Ndi tshi khou shuma, ndi a funa.' (I am working, I like.) Students will discuss the errors and correct them together. Each group will present their corrected sentences to the class, explaining the changes they made and why.
Students will write five sentences about their favorite activities. They must ensure that each sentence has proper punctuation and correct spacing. After writing, they will exchange their work with a partner for peer editing, checking for grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes.
