Speech marks practice
Can you continue this conversation between Harry and Thenusha using the correct rules for reported speech? Remember to start each character’s speech on a new line. Use “ to open the speech. End the speech with !, ? or , and use ” to close the speech. Use a reporting clause (a verb like said, whispered or announced).
Column words: adjectives
Can you place the words in the correct rows in the grid so that the shaded column spells out another adjective?
Fronted adverbials
A fronted adverbial is an adverb or adverbial phrase at the beginning of a sentence. It describes where, when and how something is done. Cut out these parts of sentences. Can you match the fronted adverbial to the correct sentence ending?
Using relative clauses
Relative clauses are used to add information to a sentence. They usually start with when, who, that, which or whose. Cut out the relative clauses in the table below and work out where they should go in the following sentences.
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.
Writing active and passive sentences
Can you complete these sentences in your own way so that they are active sentences? Then can you complete these sentences in your own way so that they are passive sentences?
Using onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is describing a sound by using a word that actually makes that sound. Splash, whir, clang... what other onomatopeic sounds do you like? Think about when you get into school in the morning. What sounds do you hear? Use this table to help you and then write your own poem similar to the one above (it doesn’t have to rhyme!).
Using concrete and abstract nouns
Each of these sentences is missing a concrete noun and an abstract noun; can you add them in? Once you’ve finished, underline concrete nouns in blue and abstract nouns in red.
Using alliteration
Alliteration is using words that start with the same letter or sound for literary effect. Alliteration is often used in poetry and persuasive writing. Look at the name in each of these ‘empty’ sentences. You need to find all the other words that start with this letter in the table below. See if you can work out how to organise the words so that the sentences make sense.
Using abstract nouns
A noun is an object. A concrete noun is one which you can touch. An abstract noun is one that you cannot touch, smell, hear, see or taste. All of these sentences are missing their abstract nouns. Cut out the
abstract nouns below and see if you can work out which gaps they need to fill in the sentences.
Understanding alliteration
Alliteration is the repetition of an initial letter or sound in closely connected words. Cut out the words in the table and sort them so that they are in groups according to their first letter. Now see if you can work out where they go in these sentences.
Understanding active and passive
In each of the following cases, turn the sentence from passive to active or active to passive.

Subject and object in a sentence
Most sentences have a subject (the thing or person the sentence is about), a verb (a doing word) and an object (something that is having something done to it by the subject). Can you find appropriate subjects, verbs and objects in the table below to fill in these sentence gaps? Then underline the subject in green, the verb in purple and the object in orange.
Onomatopoeic sounds

Nouns: concrete and abstract
A concrete noun is one that has a physical presence. An abstract noun is a concept you can’t touch, smell, hear, see or taste. Look at the following passage. Can you underline all the concrete nouns in blue and the abstract nouns in red?
Introduction to onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is when we want to describe a sound and we use a word that actually makes that sound. It can be used for water (splash, drip), air (whoosh, swish), a collision (bang, crash), voice (whisper,
murmur), animals (moo, tweet), vehicles (zoom, chuff). Cut out the words in the table below and see if you can work out where they should go:
Introduction to alliteration
Alliteration is when we use words together that start with the same letter. These sentences are supposed to use alliteration, but they have the wrong words at the end! Match up the sentence starters with the
correct end word so that the sentences are alliterative.
