Grammar and Language

Building Strong Sentences

Grammar and language skills help you write and speak clearly. In 3rd grade, you'll learn about nouns, verbs, adjectives, and how to put sentences together the right way.

Key Topics

  • Nouns: Names of people, places, and things.
  • Verbs: Action words like run, jump, and think.
  • Adjectives: Words that describe nouns, like "happy" or "blue."
  • Punctuation: Using commas, periods, and question marks correctly.

Practice Ideas

  • Write three sentences about your favorite animal, using at least two adjectives in each.
  • Change a statement into a question using correct punctuation.

Why It Matters

Good grammar helps people understand your writing and makes your stories more fun to read!

Examples

  • Write: The fluffy cat slept on the warm mat.

  • Change this statement: 'You are coming.' into a question: 'Are you coming?'
