At three years old, most children can:
• Talk with you in conversation using at least two back-and-forth exchanges.
• Ask "who," "what," "where" or "why" questions, like "Where is daddy?"
• Say what action is happening in a picture or book when asked, like "running," "eating" or "playing."
• Say first name when asked.
• Talk well enough for others to understand, most of the time.
