Grammar is the set of rules that helps us use a language correctly. In Sepedi, we have specific rules for sentence structure, punctuation, and word usage. For example, every sentence must start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Understanding these rules helps us communicate clearly.
Let’s look at this sentence: 'mama o ja borai.' This sentence needs a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. The corrected sentence is: 'Mama o ja borai.' Now, let’s practice correcting another sentence together: 'ngwana o a etla.' What do we need to add?
In pairs, students will create sentences using the words provided: 'bana', 'bona', 'go etla'. They should ensure that their sentences start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After writing, each pair will read their sentences aloud to the class, allowing for feedback on grammar and punctuation.
Students will receive a short paragraph with several grammatical errors. Their task is to read the paragraph carefully, identify the mistakes, and rewrite it correctly. This exercise will help them apply their knowledge of grammar rules and improve their editing skills.

The correct sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.
