Conjunctions we use are and, but, if, so, as, when, because, if, then. Co-ordinating conjunction This is a conjunction placed between words, phrases, clauses, or sentences of equal rank, e.g. and, but, or. e.g Fred loves orange juice but love lemonade. We could see zebras at the zoo or we could see lions. The birds were chirping in the sky and the butterflies were chasing each other. Subordinating conjunctions These are conjunctions that join a main sentence and a clause. The clause will not always make sense on its own without the subordinating conjunction to extend the main sentence. The subordinating conjunctions we use are Because, when, if, that
4 e.g Terry turned the light on when it was getting dark. ( Terry turned the light on is the sentence that makes sense on its own. It gets dark is the clause that does not make sense on its own right.) All the children liked their presents that they got for Christmas. ( All the children liked their presents is the sentence that makes sense on its own. They got for Christmas is the clause that needs the conjunction that for it to make sense) Lizzie likes carrots because she does not like peas. ( Lizzie likes carrots is the main sentence. She does not like peas is the clause that extends the main sentence.) I can go outside to play if it is not raining. (the main sentence is I can go outside to play and he clause to extend the main sentence is it is not raining. The clause does not make sense on its own.) Suffix A suffix is a group of letters added to the end of the word to change its meaning. e.g run - running enjoy enjoyment happy happiness The suffixes we use are ly, ing, ed, ment, ness, ful The suffix ing added to verbs into change them into present tense. E.g hang - hanging
5 The suffix ed is added to verbs to change them into the past tense. E.g look - looked The suffix ly is added to adjectives to change them into adverbs e.g quick quickly The suffix ment is added to a verb e.g. enjoy - enjoyment The suffix ness is added to adjectives e.g happy happiness The suffix ful is added to describe e.g hope hopeful Homophones These are words that sound the same but are spelled differently. They also have different meanings. e.g. blew and blue son and sun knight and night their and there and they re Sentence types: There are four main types of sentences. Statements These are simple sentences punctuated with a full stop. e.g. the car drove quickly. The duck was sat by the pond.
6 Exclamations These are short sentences used to show excitement, worry, anger or surprise. These start with a How or What. e.g. How amazing! Wow! Questions These ask a simple question and are punctuated with a? e.g Where are we going. Commands These give an instruction, or something you have to do. They can be punctuated with a full stop or an exclamation. E.g Get your coat. Come here now! Contractions These are when two words are shorten to make one word, using an apostrophe to mark the missing letters. e.g.: have not haven t (the apostrophe is for the missing o) you have you ve (the apostrophe is for the missing ha) Would not wouldn t (the apostrophe is for the missing o) If you have any other questions or concerns regarding SPAG, please do not hesitate to see a member of the Year 2 team.
