English Y3 - Speech Marks

Okay, We've had a good go at that.

Let's take a look at the answers on weaken, take and fix as we g o.

If you find you missed anything

than make a note of what you did miss so that you can keep an eye out for it for next time.

So our first example, How do they fit so much water in that little force?

It asked Billy.

So of course, we need to begin our direct speech with us. Speech marks

andare capital letter Because it's the beginning of our speech sentence

on we need to end with a question mark.

That's the most appropriate punctuation here because this is a question.

And after the question mark, we put our inverted comments are speech marks

on good work. If you spotted that, we also need a capital letter for Billy

on DHF. All stopped and the overall sentence

that might have been a little bit tricky to spot.

We might have forgotten to include that,

But when looking for necessary punctuation,

make sure you look for everything that a sentence needs.

Let's take a look at the next example.

How do I know which battery is empty?

they both weigh the same asked billing.

So here, of course, we need to begin again with our speech marks

on our capital letter.

Next, we need a question mark after the first question,

How do I know which battery is empty?

Question mark.

And then, of course,

we need a capital letter for they after that because we're starting a new sentence

on then we need a comma to separate the speech from the speaker.

So they both weigh the same is no a question. It's a statement on day

ends the speech. So in order to separate it, we need some kind of punctuation

on. We're not using a question mark.

We're not using an exclamation mark, So we would be using a comma here.

And then, of course,

we need a capital letter for Billy on a full stop to end the overall sentence.

So fantastic work. If you spotted this

away as well

our next sentence, I'm going to have to introduce you

our next sentence. I'm going to have to introduce my new doll to her sisters.

Dolly said

So we need that full stop.

So we need the capital letter from the speech marks to begin

on. We need a comma to separate the speaker

from the speech. So

So we need a comma as well to separate the speech from the speaker

Akama because it is not a question and not an exclamation

on. We need the speech marks to contain our fall direct speech.

And then we need a capital letter for Dolly the name of

the person on the full stop at the end of the sentence.

Fantastic work. If you spotted all of this,

let's take a look.

So now able to cheque of our three

rules for understanding speech marks in year three.

So number one, of course.

You put those speech marks around the words that the speaker says

number to

any new speech. Sentence starts for the capital letter

and number three. We separate what was said from the speaker with a comment.

Unless there is already a question mark or exclamation mark,

Fantastic work.

If you're confident with all of thes on DS spotting them in those last examples.

So let's take a look at a slightly longer, a little bit more complicated passage.

This is the elder Bush by Hans Christian Andersen

on without speech marks,

we can see that the tax becomes quite difficult to understand on.

The reader will not know when someone is directly speaking or not,

and that's why they're so important on why they

are so cool and interesting for us as well.

That's why they're so important.

And that's why punctuation is so interesting to learn about because these tiny

little marks tell us so much about what is happening in a text.

They're little tiny strokes for a pen that

can communicate how something is said on the way

that communicate how something has said or how we should be reading it.

So take a look at the passage on the screen now

read through it once and then see if you can correct the passage.

How many errors can you spot

on? You can make a note of them in your own work books,

so pause the video now read through the passage and

try to see how many errors you can spot.

You can pause the video to have a go.

Okay, we've had a good go. Let's read through the passage.

Now drink your tea, said the boy's mother. Then perhaps you may hear a fairy tale

I had but something new to tell, said the old man. But how did you

the child?

I have something new to town, said the old man. But how did the child get his feet wet?

That is the very thing that nobody can make out. Set his mother.

I am I to hear a fairytale, asked the little boy.

Yes, if you could tell me exactly for I must know that first,

how deep the gutter is in the little street

opposite that you passed through in going to school.

Reason that through it's probably a little bit

jumbled and modelled and hard to actually understand.

So we can see we really need some speech marks here

in order for this to make a little bit more sense.

So let's see if we put them in the right place.

Our first should, of course, go the very start of the passage.

We need speech marks to begin direct speech on

the capital letter to begin our speech sentence.

So now drink your tea

comma

on.

We have the speech marks to end the speech to separate that speech from the speaker,

said the boy's mother

on. We could also include a semi colon here, where you might have included a comma

to separate the next part of the speech.

So we have speech Mark.

Then perhaps you may hear a fairy tale

full stop,

and we have the speech marks to close the direct speech

So we can see in this very beginning part here

with the word then we don't need a capital letter here

because that's not the beginning of a new speech sentence.

It's the part of

It's a part of this one sentence here,

so it doesn't need to begin with a capital letter there.

It's continuing on from the beginning of the sentence here.

So good work. Have you spotted that?

Next we have speech marks and a capital letter.

If I had but something new to tell

comma and then closed speech marks to separate that speech from the speaker,

said the old man, Full stop.

Then we have this new speech sentence speech mark with a capital letter.

But how did the child get his feet wet?

Wes Chin Mark. That's a direct question. We close the speech with speech marks.

Open the speech speech marks on a capital letter

that is the very thing that nobody can make out

common

to separate the speech from the speaker on the closed speech marks

next open speech marks

a mighty here, a fairytale

question mark because this is a direct question.

Close speech marks

on a full stop at the end of the sentence.

And finally

open speech marks with a capital letter.

Yes,

if you could tell me exactly for I must know that first

how deep the gutter is in the little street opposite

that you passed through in going to school.

Full stop is the very end of our sentence

and closed speech marks.

So there are some hard punctuation marks here to spot but fantastic work.

If you did get all of these,

do you miss anything?

You could make a note of them so that you can learn from from them the next time.

So here we can again cheque of the rules that we were looking for on

the rules that we spotted in order to

make sure that everything was punctuated correctly.

Who really good work.

If you're using some kind of checklist like this in order to make sure your spot in

all of the errors.

Let's take a look at another activity that

so here we have three different

punctuated.

So here we have three sentences that are the same

punctuated

differently.

One of them is correct.

Two of them are wrong.

You can pause the video and see if you

can identify which of them is punctuated correctly.

And you can use that checklist to see

if you can spot the hours.

Pause the video now to have a go.

Okay, if we had a good girl, let's take a look. Can I go to the zoo? Are Sonya here?

This one is incorrect because we don't need a capital letter for asked Sonya.

It's part of our sentence

as speech.

It's a part of our overall sentence,

so the correct answer would be the second option. Can I go to the zoo?

Question Mark asked Sonya.

And of course, this one being correct because we have a direct question.

So we need a question mark.

Let's take a look at another example and again refill sentences on pause

the video to see if you can spot the correctly punctuated one.

Kevin. Fairly good. Go. Let's take a look, Lela replied. No, you may not go to the zoo,

so this is wrong.

Of course, because we're missing the speech marks to end our speech.

Next. Leela replied, No, you may not go to the zoo.

We are missing the speech marks to open the speech.

So the correct answer is option three on.

Of course, we have that capital letter there as well to begin this speech sentence.

Fantastic work. We spotted this.

Okay, so that brings us to the end of our examples.

We'll take a look at a couple more activities now

to put all of those rules into practise south.

So once again, it's quite clear that without speech marks,

attacks is really hard to actually understand.

That was very confusing on the reader

doesn't know that someone is directly speaking

hand

this activity before we begin.

Let's just take a quick look at what text

again would look like We didn't use any speech marks

on if we

And not only that, if we all use them differently if we didn't have a set,

Yeah,

if we didn't have a set of rules that we were

all following so that we will all on the same page.

We all just do whatever we wanted. No one would know whether anyone was doing

so. As you'll be able to see

text without speech marks or text that use them incorrectly,

they're almost impossible to understand.

That's why having these rules is so important.

It helps us to communicate with each other on the same level

and helps us to understand what we're all trying to say.

So take a look at this text.

Do you know what's going on here? Do you understand the text?

You can read through it and see if it makes sense.

You could post a video now to have a look.

Okay. Hopefully we've all had a read through. Let's take a look.

How splendid His Majesty looks in his new clothes and how well they fit.

Everyone cried out. What? It is I what colours? These are indeed royal robes.

The canopy which is to be born over Your Majesty in the procession is waiting.

Announced by the chief master of the ceremonies.

I am quite ready. Answered the emperor.

Do my new clothes fit Well asked he turning himself round

again before the looking glass in order that he might appear

to be examining his handsome suit.

Okay, we see there are no speech marks here at all,

and you can't tell when someone is speaking in the tax.

Really? You read through the whole sentence, you just keep going.

You don't pause naturally, where someone might

in actual speech.

That's where becomes quite confusing

the action. The speaker

on bond, the direct speech all becomes jumbled together.

So if we added in our speech marks,

but we didn't add the member of our rules,

it again becomes quite confusing.

You can see how splendid His Majesty looks in his new clothes and how well they fit.

Everyone cried out.

What a design, What colours These are indeed royal robes. The canopy is

to be born over you. You can see if it comes very confusing.

We're not actually sure what is being directly said

on what is being

told to us as narrative or what the speakers are, who the speakers are.

So this is an incorrect use of speech marks on the text,

def.

And you have to ask yourself,

Does the text still make sense despite using

the speech marks in the wrong positions?

Not really.

If anything, it becomes even more confusing,

and that's why we need to follow our rules.

So

let's take a look at some activities and see if we can use those rules again

in order to fix from confusing texts.
