Using commas to separate items in a list
When you write a list of objects in a sentence you need to use commas to separate them. Can you add the commas into these sentences? Remember, you don’t need a comma before ‘and’!
Verb tenses: adding -ing
The basic form of a verb is the INFINITIVE. To show that something is still happening in the present, we use the PRESENT PARTICIPLE, which we make by adding -ing to the verb. If a verb ends with a silent ‘e’ which isn’t pronounced it needs to be dropped before you add -ing to make the present participle. Cover over the table. Can you write the correct words ending -ing in the spaces below?
Missing words: nouns
Spot the nouns then place the missing nouns in the correct place in the story.

Apostrophes for possession

Apostrophes for missing letters
Sometimes we want to shorten words when we’re speaking or writing. When we miss letters out, we replace them with an apostrophe (contractions). Look at the red words in this passage. Can you write them as contractions?
