CLASS III-ENGLISH

SESSION 2020-21 Dear students

We miss you all…… We still have time to meet, as we are at home let us

utilise the technology and make the best use of it by not letting the distance

keep us distant from our learning.

To begin with here is an unseen passage that you have already practised in

Class II. So let’s get started.

Keep in mind

This is just a warm up exercise.

You can take help of an elder person at home.

Use your old notebooks to do the work.

Practise writing in cursive hand in single line notebooks only.

It is perfectly fine if you are not able to do the complete exercises, we all are learners.

I. Observe the things around you in your home. How can you classify

them? To understand this, read the given passage and try to check your

understanding by answering the given questions.

The objects which we see around us are made of different materials like wood,

glass, rubber, plastic, cotton, etc. They are of different shapes, sizes and

colours. For example, table, chair, bag, books, clothes, birds, cars and trees are

all made of different materials. How do we group such a variety of objects?

We group objects on the basis of certain similarities and differences in their

properties. This type of grouping in which similar objects are placed together

is known as classification. Therefore, the above mentioned objects may be

classified as living or non-living. We can also classify them as naturally or

man-made objects.

Q1. What are the objects we see around us made of?

OUR NEXT TOPIC IS

NOUN GENDER

We can clearly understand that-

Name of any male person or animal is called as MASCULINE GENDER.

Name of any female person or animal is called as FEMININE GENDER.

Name of any person or animal which can be used for both male and

female is called as COMMON GENDER.

Name of any non-living thing is called as NEUTER GENDER.

And yes, we also have POSSESSIVE NOUN. They are usually represented

by using apostrophe (’) after the noun.
