Term 3 CAPS Language Concepts Framework. A colourful learner-friendly study hub for building vocabulary, grammar, sentence construction, reading skills, writing confidence and everyday communication.
In Term 3, learners continue to strengthen their English First Additional Language skills through vocabulary development, sentence work, grammar, punctuation, reading comprehension and short writing tasks.
Verbs tell us what someone or something does. Learners use verbs to write clear sentences and to show when an action happens.
Write five sentences in the present tense and then change them to the past tense.
Nouns name people, places, animals and things. Learners identify nouns in sentences and use correct singular and plural forms.
Find the nouns in this sentence: The children played soccer near the big tree.
Adjectives describe nouns. They make sentences more interesting by adding information about size, colour, shape, number or feeling.
Pronouns are words used in the place of nouns. Articles are small words used before nouns.
Nomsa has a pencil. She writes with the pencil.
Adverbs add more information to verbs. Prepositions show position, direction, time or relationship between words.
A sentence must express a complete idea. Learners practise building sentences with correct word order and punctuation.
Write one example of each sentence type.
Learners ask and answer questions, change positive sentences into negative sentences, and use direct speech correctly.
Use quotation marks to show the exact words someone says.
Example: “I am ready,” said Ben.
Vocabulary work helps learners understand texts and choose better words when speaking and writing.
Always use the word in a sentence to show that you understand its meaning.
Word building helps learners work out the meaning of unfamiliar words and expand their vocabulary.
Choose five root words and add a prefix or suffix to each one.
Correct spelling and punctuation make writing easier to read and understand. Learners edit their own work to improve accuracy.
Learners read stories, poems, information texts, dialogues, instructions and visual texts. They answer questions by finding information, making inferences and giving reasons.
Learners practise short writing tasks such as paragraphs, dialogues, descriptions, diary entries, letters, instructions and summaries.
Each language concept can later be linked to detailed notes, interactive worksheets, immediate marking and complete learner feedback.
