Spoken and Written Expression & Punctuation

Welcome to the chapter on Spoken and Written Expression & Punctuation for Class 3.

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to write and speak better English using the right punctuation!

Introduction

We use words to share our thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Good expression means saying or writing things clearly. Punctuation marks help us organize our sentences and show pauses, stops, and excitement.

Spoken Expression

  • Speak clearly and loudly enough for others to hear.
  • Use polite words like "please" and "thank you".
  • Look at the person you are talking to.
  • Use complete sentences when you answer questions.

Written Expression

  • Write neatly and use correct spelling.
  • Start sentences with a capital letter.
  • End sentences with the right punctuation mark.
  • Use short and clear sentences.

Common Punctuation Marks

  • Full Stop (.) – Used at the end of a sentence.
    Example: I like apples.
  • Question Mark (?) – Used at the end of a question.
    Example: What is your name?
  • Comma (,) – Used to separate words in a list.
    Example: I have a pen, pencil, and eraser.
  • Exclamation Mark (!) – Used to show strong feelings.
    Example: Wow! That is amazing!
  • Capital Letter – Used at the start of a sentence and for names.
    Example: My name is Riya.
