A question asks for information. What asks about a thing or action. Where asks about a place. Who asks about a person. Listen to the answer because it should connect to the question word. In writing, a question usually ends with a question mark. In speech, a polite voice and a short pause help the other person know it is their turn.
Read the first model carefully: “Where is my bag?” Notice how its words work together to communicate one clear meaning. The second model, “Who is at the door?”, shows a different use of the same lesson idea. Compare the choices rather than memorising a whole sentence. In a new situation, choose the meaning you need first, then select the words and structure that express it. Read or say the result once more to check that another person can understand it.

Good listening means paying attention to the speaker’s meaning. For a short message, first find the main idea and then remember the details you need. If an adult says “Bring a red pencil and a blue book”, you need both objects and their colours. Repeat the message quietly in order if that helps. Ask for the message again when it is unclear; guessing can lead to a different action.

Checking is part of learning. Look at one sentence at a time. Does it communicate the idea you wanted? Is the first letter a capital? Are the words separated by spaces? Is there a full stop or question mark at the end? Check a familiar spelling by comparing it with a trusted word list. Ask an adult about an unfamiliar word rather than changing it at random.
