The correct approach is: What is an adjective, Olu. Starting the question with the main idea ("What is an adjective") focuses on the content and makes the question accessible to everyone in the class, not just the named student. Adding the student's name at the end personalizes the question and signals who should answer. This approach maintains inclusivity and ensures that the entire class remains engaged before directing the question to a specific individual.
Target before question, calling the name prepares the mind of the learner to answer the question, if question before target is utilized the teacher will end up repeating the question because the learner's mind might be far away from the class
The phrase "Olu, what is an adjective?" is the correct structure because in English, when addressing someone directly in a question, the person's name or title is placed at the beginning or end of the sentence, followed by a comma. This comma sets the name off as an interjection, signaling that the question is directed at that person. The other phrasing, "What is an adjective Olu?", although it could still be understood, is less natural in English. It places the name at the end without the clear separation from the main sentence. While it is possible to use this structure, it feels more awkward and less conventional. In summary: "Olu, what is an adjective?" is the typical and grammatically correct way to address someone and ask a question.
Target before question is better than question before target because mentioning the name indicates that you want that particular student to answer the question which will prevent chorus answers from the students and prevent the class from been rowdy during evaluation period.
My answer to the question is Olu what is an adjective? It shows the question is directed to Olu and this makes the pupil more conscious unlike the other which seem open for any learner before the target was mentioned
When you target someone with a question, you are directing the question specifically to that person. In English, this is typically done by addressing the person directly, and this is reflected in the sentence structure. Let's break this down: 1. Directly Targeting the Person: When you target someone with a question, you usually address them by name or title. This makes it clear who you are speaking to. For example, in the sentence "Olu, what is an adjective?": "Olu" is the person you're targeting, and the comma helps separate their name from the question, making it clear that you're speaking to them. The word "target" here means to direct something (in this case, a question) at a specific person. 2. Question Structure with Targeting: In English, when targeting someone, the usual question structure is: Address the person (name/title) + comma + the question. Example: "Olu, what is an adjective?" "Sarah, can you help me?" The comma separates the name of the person from the question itself, which helps make the sentence clearer and grammatically correct. 3. Targeting Without a Comma: While you might still understand the question if you don't use a comma, it can sound unnatural or less clear. For example, "What is an adjective Olu?" is understandable, but it doesn't follow standard English punctuation rules for targeting someone. Why the Comma? The comma indicates a brief pause in speech, showing that you're calling the person’s attention before asking the question. This pause helps the listener understand who the question is intended for, improving clarity. In Summary: When you target someone with a question: Always use a comma after their name or title to clearly direct the question at them. The correct form is "Olu, what is an adjective?" because it follows the expected structure of addressing the person first (with a comma) and then posing the question.

Target before questions
Target before question is better than question before target because mentioning the name indicates that you want that particular student to answer the question which will prevent chorus answers from the students and prevent the class from been rowdy during evaluation period.
Target before question is okay so as to prepare the mind of the target and to avoid chorus answers by all.

target before question
It should be targets before the question
Olu, what is an adjective ? This is the correct one, sir
Good evening everyone
The correct answer is target before question because some smart students would have responded even before the target is mentioned.
The correct one is Olu, what is an Adjective? This is because Olu is being addressed directly and the vocative Olu comes before the question.
Olu , what is an adjective ?
What is an adjective?Olu
Olu what is an adjective is correct.
My question sir: is writing of objectives on the board adviceable in a primary settings?
