IndianTechnoEra: Matching Sentences with Pictures

Matching Sentences with Pictures

Pictures can help us understand what a sentence means. When we read a sentence, we can look at a picture and check whether the picture shows the person, object, action or place described in the sentence.

Matching sentences with pictures helps us connect written words with real objects and actions.

Learning Objectives

• Understand simple sentences using pictures.
• Identify important information in a sentence.
• Match a sentence with a suitable picture.
• Use words about objects, actions, colours and positions.

Read and Look

First read the sentence carefully. Then look at the picture and check whether it shows what the sentence describes.

The boy is running.

The correct picture should show a boy who is running.

Match Objects

Some sentences describe objects that we can easily recognise.

This is a red ball.

Look for a picture showing a ball and check its colour.

Match Actions

A sentence may tell us what someone or something is doing.

The girl is eating.

The matching picture should show a girl who is eating.

Match Position

Some sentences describe where an object is placed.

The ball is under the table.

The correct picture should show the ball below the table.

Use Important Details

A picture may contain many objects, so look for the details that matter in the sentence.

The boy has a blue bag.

Look for the boy, the bag and the colour blue.

Common Mistakes

• Do not choose a picture just because it contains one familiar object.
• Check the complete sentence.
• Look for important details such as colour and position.
• Pay attention to the action being described.
