गद्यांश पढ़िए और उत्तर लिखिए। PASSAGE: रीना के घर के पीछे एक बड़ा आम का पेड़ है। गर्मियों में उस पर बहुत आम लगते हैं। रोज़ सुबह पक्षी उस पेड़ पर आते हैं। रीना उनके लिए एक कटोरी में पानी रखती है। उसकी दादी कहती हैं कि पक्षी उसी घर आते हैं जहाँ उन्हें पानी मिलता है।

Here’s one done for you

रीना के घर के पीछे क्या है? → रीना के घर के पीछे एक बड़ा आम का पेड़ है। The answer is in the first line.

पिल्ला क्यों काँप रहा था? -> पिल्ला ठंड और डर के कारण काँप रहा था। The passage does not say why. It says he was shivering beside a drain, and the answer has to be worked out from that. Class 3 accepts any sensible reason, but it must be written as a full sentence with क्योंकि or के कारण.

  1. 1)मोहन कहाँ जा रहा था?
  2. 2)यह किस दिन हुआ?
  3. 3)पिल्ला कहाँ था?

While your child works

  • Insist the answer repeats part of the question. That single habit converts most one-word answers into full-mark answers.
  • Let your child read the passage twice before answering. The second reading is where the comprehension happens.
  • Do not let them look up the vocabulary words - the last exercise is about working them out from context.
Before you print it

What is on this worksheet

3 exercises, 25 questions, about 20 minutes. Every exercise has an answer key, printed on its own page so it can be kept back. 3 exercises start with a question already worked out, so you can check the method before helping.

The same topic at other levels

Most of these topics are taught over several years rather than in one. If this sheet is too hard or too easy, the same idea at another level is usually the fix.

Questions parents ask

About this worksheet

Is there an answer key for the passage?

Yes, and the answers are written as full sentences on purpose - that is what Class 3 is marked on, not just the content of the answer.

My child understands the passage but writes one-word answers.

Very common, and it costs marks from Class 3 onwards. Teach them to repeat part of the question in the answer: the question becomes the first half of the sentence and the new information the second.

Does this Class 3 Hindi worksheet come with answers?

Yes. Every exercise has a full answer key, and it prints on its own page at the end rather than beside the questions - so you can hand your child the sheet and keep the answers back. Some exercises also show one question already worked out, with the method rather than just the result, which is the part most answer keys leave out.

Is there a free printable PDF?

Yes, and there is no sign-up, no email and no account. The download button at the top of the sheet gives you the whole thing - all 25 questions across 3 exercises, plus the answer key - laid out to print on A4.

How long does this worksheet take?

About 20 minutes for 25 questions, though that is a guide rather than a target. It is designed to be split: the exercises are ordered so stopping halfway still leaves a complete piece of work, which matters more than finishing at this age.

Can I use it if my child is in a different class?

Often, yes - these topics are taught across several years and schools vary in when they arrive. Judge by the questions rather than the class on the label. If the first exercise is a struggle the level below is the better start, and the same topic at other levels is linked further up this page.
