This worksheet is designed to help your child understand how to say the singular and plural versions of different animals' names.
Missing words: nouns

What is a sentence?
This worksheet gives sentences that need correcting with regards to word order or punctuation.
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?
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’!
Statement, question, exclamation or command?
Are these sentences statements, questions, exclamations or commands? Cut them out and sort them into four piles
Selecting adjectives
Can you make these sentences more interesting by using the adjective bank at the bottom of the page? Cut out all the adjectives so that you can move them around, then stick them down when you are happy with your sentences.
Pick the correct homophone
Homophones are pairs of words that sound the same, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Cut out these words and put them in the sentences in the correct places.
Comparative adjectives: adding -er
The comparative form of an adjective is used to compare two people or things. To form it we add -er to the adjective. Look at these sentences which compare two football players and add the correct ending to the adjectives.
Apostrophes for possession
When we are showing that something belongs to someone we use an apostrophe. Look at these sentences about football and add in the missing apostrophes.
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?
Missing words: nouns
Spot the nouns then place the missing nouns in the correct place in the story.

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?
Questions: vocabulary and punctuation
Alfie’s homework is to write some questions. He is going to use these words to help him: what; where; how. Do you know any other words Alfie could use to write a question? Can you also add the correct punctuation for a question?
Match the contracted words
Can you match the two words on the left with their contracted form on the right? Then, think of some more contracted words and write them down. Don’t forget your apostrophe!
Linking sentences with connectives
All these words can be used as connectives. Complete the sentences using the connective that makes the most sense!
Homophones wordsearch
Can you find these homophone pairs hidden in the wordsearch below?
Homophones mix and match
Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Can you match the pairs of homophones? Describe what each word means and watch out – two of the pairs have an extra homophone!
Contractions memory game
When we shorten two words into one, the missing letter or letters are replaced by an apostrophe to form the contracted word. Practise matching words with their contracted form with this contractions memory game.
Be a connectives spy
Connectives or conjunctions are joining words. Can you spot the connective in each of the sentences below and circle it in red?
Changing words by adding suffixes
A SUFFIX is a word ending, added to a ‘root’ word to change it into another word. Can you change these words by adding a suffix (and changing the root word if needed)?
Spelling patterns: doubling a letter and adding -ed / -ing
With some three-letter verbs, if you need to add -ed or -ing, you need to double the last letter. This rule is followed whenever the verb has a short vowel followed by a consonant. Read this passage aloud, then write down each coloured word. Check the words and then learn to spell any you get wrong.
