Listening & Speaking Time

The teacher will write on pieces of paper some words such as:

a. Proper Nouns—Adil/India/Bible
b. Common Nouns—cow/chair/bus/lion

c. Thank you/Good morning/Excuse Me
d. What/Why/ How/Where
e. Wow/Fantas� c/Oops/Yummy

The teacher will ask the students to pull one piece of paper, read the words aloud
and then convey to the class the punctua� on mark which should be used with it in
a sentence.
For example :

Adil : (i) Thank you! — We use exclama� on mark when we say with surprise in this case.
(ii) Cow, lion, chair, bus — We use comma in this case.
