By age 3 children should be able to carry on a conversation and understand most of what is being said. You should be able to give your child multiple requests at once (i.e. pick up your toys and put them in the basket) without them being confused.
When your little one does start talking, you can expect words to come slowly at first. Typically, children have around 4-6 words at 15 months and then between 20 and 50 words at 18 months. When your child hits the magic 50 word mark, he will enter a language explosion during which he will astound you with his ability to quickly learn words that you didn't even know he'd heard!
