4.2.2.1.2. Combining descriptive words with names for objects

 

In addition to learning to recognize names for objects, such as pencil, cup, string, you can easily learn to recognize complex descriptions which include things like colour, size, shape, condition, or quantity of objects. This is also a good time to cover words like this and that, if they exist.

You will also want to learn to understand sentences in which combinations of objects are named together: “Take a green pencil and a red pencil”.

Techniques: The LRP will use object manipulation instructions such as “Take a green pencil. Take two red pencils. Take a long yellow string. Take ten small nails, and a large nail. Take some of the screws and all the nails.”
