What rhymes and everyday conversation means

You learn to hear words that sound alike at the end and to use polite words in everyday talk. This helps you answer simple oral questions, speak clearly, and show good manners in class and at home.

What you will practise

  • Choose words that have the same ending sound.
  • Spot rhyming pairs in short spoken examples.
  • Say polite words for greetings and thanks.
  • Answer simple conversation questions in full words.

Before you start

You should already know common picture words and basic speaking words used in class. It also helps if you can listen carefully to short spoken sentences.

Not confident yet? Work through Blends and digraphs first.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Which word rhymes with "cat"?

  • cot
  • hat
  • cup
  • car
Answer: hat

Working: "Cat" and "hat" end with the same -at sound.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Picking words that start the same, not words that rhyme at the end.
  • Saying only one word when a polite reply is needed in conversation.
  • Missing the ending sound because you listen too quickly.
  • Using informal responses when a kind phrase is expected.
