Clauses in a sentence
When we talk about clauses in a sentence, we mean their parts. Clauses always have a noun and a verb in them and are often linked by a connective. These sentences each have two clauses with a comma or connective between them. Underline each of the separate clauses.

Subject and verb agreement in writing
The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing or idea that is doing or being something. The verb that follows the subject changes according to whether the subject is singular or plural. Verbs also change according to whether the sentence is in the present or past tense. Can you complete this table with the correct subjects and verbs?
Modal verbs
Modal verbs are used to express something that is not definite. Imagine you are in charge of a picnic area. Write a notice explaining how you would like people to behave when using
the area, and why. Use as many modal verbs as you can!
the area, and why. Use as many modal verbs as you can!
Main and subordinate clauses
A main clause is an independent clause that could stand on its own. They are sometimes followed by a subordinate clause that cannot make sense on its own (it is dependent on the main clause). The main clause doesn’t have to come first in the sentence. Can you underline main clauses in red and subordinate clauses in blue?
Irregular plural nouns wordsearch
See if you can find all the irregular plural nouns for the following words hidden in this teacher-created wordsearch. You may need to look some of them up in the dictionary.
Expanded noun phrases explained
A noun phrase is a group of words that act in the same way as a noun. Can you rewrite these sentences using expanded noun phrases containing adjectives, or to tell readers something about place or time? Then rewrite these sentences using expanded noun phrases that use superlatives, or that mention a person.

Semi-colons revision
Semi-colons are used in a similar way to commas, but they mark a stronger division. Look at these sentences. Where do you think the semi-colon should go?
Pronouns explained
A pronoun is a word that is used to replace a noun. We use pronouns so that we don’t have to keep repeating a noun in our writing. Which nouns would you replace with pronouns in this passage?
Matching root words, prefixes and suffixes
On the first page of this worksheet you’ll find twenty root words. They all make sense on their own, but they could all have either a prefix (a letter string that goes at the beginning of a word) or a suffix (a letter string that goes at the end of a word) added to them. On the second page you’ll find twenty prefixes and suffixes. You need to cut out all these cards and then work out which prefix or suffix goes with each root word. To make things harder, we are not telling you which are suffixes and which are prefixes!
Dashes revision
Dashes can be used to show a change in thought during a sentence. They can also be used to drop some extra information into a sentence or they can also be used to create emphasis. Look through these sentences and put dashes in where you think they should go.
Commas revision
Commas are used to separate parts of a sentence (they are usually inserted before a connective, but not always). They are also used when lists of adjectives are put before a noun. They are also used on either side of a drop-in clause. Put the commas in where you think they should go in this passage.
Colons revision
Colons are used in sentences when a fact or a list is being presented. Look at these sentences. Where do you think the colon should go?
Brackets revision
Brackets are used to separate off an extra piece of information in a sentence. Without the information in the brackets, the sentence would still make sense. Look at these sentences. Where do you think the brackets should go?
Adverbs revision
An adverb modifies a verb (explains how it is being done). Adverbs usually end in -ly. Look at these sentences. What adverbs could you add to them?
Statement or question?
Can you complete these statements and questions with the correct punctuation? Look for clues (question words or wording which suggests strong feeling and the need for exclamation marks).
Simple suffix wordsearch
Circle the common suffixes (word endings) in these words in RED. Circle the ‘root word’ (the main part of the word) in BLUE. Now can you find the words in the wordsearch?
