TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Modal verbs practice
What are modal verbs?
Modal verbs are special words that add different meanings to sentences. They often talk about possibilities, abilities, or obligations. For example: can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would are all modal verbs. When we say things like, "You can go outside," or, "She must finish her homework," we're using modal verbs to show what someone can do or what they should do.
Modal verbs are important in understanding the meaning and context of what we're saying.
What are examples of modal verbs?
Here are some examples of modal verbs that Year 5 children might encounter:
- Can: I can swim.
- Could: She could read when she was three.
- May: You may go to the park after dinner.
- Might: It might rain later.
- Must: You must finish your homework before bed.
- Shall: Shall we go to the zoo tomorrow?
- Should: You should brush your teeth before going to bed.
- Will: I will help you with your project.
- Would: He would like to visit the museum.
How will this year 5 modal verbs worksheet help your child?
This Year 5 modal verbs worksheet was created by an experienced teacher with the purpose of helping your child to learn about modal verbs at home, and reinforce what they are being taught at school.
Your child will find clear and useful examples and explanations, and then they will be asked to look at the sentences and insert a modal verb that works within the sentence.
