Let s go!!
We know more than we thought 1. The old man jumped quickly over the rusty fence. 2. He jumped over it. Where are the nouns what is their job? Where are the adjectives what is their job? Where is the verb what is its job? Where is the adverb what is its job? Where are the pronouns what is their job Where is the preposition what is its job? And the is a? Is subject, verb, object the typical order of a sentence in English? Julia Strong & Pie Corbett - www.talk4writing.com
1. The old man jumped quickly over the rusty fence. 2. He jumped over it. (subject) (verb) (object) nouns name the things talked about adjectives describe the nouns verbs say what the action is adverbs describe the verb pronouns stand in the place of a noun prepositions tell you the position of the action determiners pin down the noun precisely Typical sentence order in English is subject (carries out action), verb, object (action is done to it).
We know more than we thought the old man bright red across the road Which is the noun phrase? Which is the adjectival phrase? Which is the prepositional phrase? Now turn the noun phrase into an extended noun phrase!
Determiners What is their function? Where are they positioned? 1. I saw his dog eat six sandwiches. 2. I saw your dog eat several sandwiches. 3. That dog ate those sandwiches. 4. Some dogs like eating a few sandwiches. 5. I like this dog better than that one.
Determiners I have just seen the dog. I have just seen a dog. Which one is definite and which one is indefinite?
Determiner OR pronoun Y4 Discuss which of the underlined words below are determiners and which are pronouns. How would you explain the difference to your child? 1. Put that box over there. 2. Put that over there. 3. That box is his. 4. That is his.
Verbs doing and being words Infinitive Past Present Future To go He went He goes He will go To come He came He comes He will come To say He said He says He will say To look He looked He looks He will look To have He had He has He will have To be He was He is He will be To jump He jumped He jumps He will jump Massive new emphasis on types of verb tenses in new curriculum.
Tense The tense of a verb indicates the time at which an action takes place whether in the present or the past. With the help of a few auxiliaries it can tell you whether it is planned to happen in the future or whether it is likely to happen at all. Tense in all its possible forms in English is best understood in context via reading.
PRESENT PERFECT TENSE Y3 The PRESENT PERFECT TENSE is formed with a present tense form of "to have" plus the past participle of the verb. This tense indicates either that an action was completed (finished or "perfected") at some point in the past or that the action extends to the present. E.g. I have walked two miles already [but I'm still walking]. I have run the London Marathon [successfully in the past]. The critics have praised the film Muppets Christmas Carol since it came out [and they continue to do so].
PRESENT PERFECT TENSE Y3 There is a big difference in meaning between: He has gone out to play. He went out to play.
STANDARD ENGLISH Y4 Ensuring children use Standard English forms for verb inflections instead of local spoken forms. It is a national dialect, which usually appears in print and media and which is taught in schools. It may vary from children s local dialect. E.g. We were going to see Santa instead of We was going to see Santa. I did it instead of I done it.
MODAL VERBS Y5 Tense: The Is it really going to happen game? I would have ice cream if I could but there isn t any so I will have chocolate instead. Through shared discussion, based on wider reading, draw out from the children the difference the modal verbs would, could, might, can and will make to the meaning of sentences and whether the action is definitely going to happen, may possibly happen or just has the potential to happen.
Simple and progressive present and past tense introduced in Y2 The simple past eg: I ran; I danced; I ate The past progressive eg: I was running, I was dancing; I was eating These parallel the two basic forms of the present tense. The simple present eg: I run; I dance; I eat The present progressive eg: I am running, I am dancing; I am eating etc. The progressive tenses usually suggest that the activity is in progress, taking place over a limited period.
Simple and progressive present and past tense Y6 SATs question
The Subjunctive Year 6 The subjunctive The subjunctive is very important in some languages, eg French, Polish, Turkish and Latin but it is dying out and somewhat archaic in English. There are three types of subjunctive in English The hypothetical subjunctive (the were subjunctive): If I were to do that again, I would try harder. The mandatory subjunctive (the bossy subjunctive): We require that he return the money immediately The formulaic subjunctive (for certain set phrases) God save the Queen! Pie Corbett & Julia Strong - www.talk4writing.com
Hypothetical: The Subjunctive If I were Prime Minister, I would order that all Daleks should be melted down. Mandatory: The Minister requires that each teacher accept the new curriculum without question. How does it sound like it should be said?
The Subjunctive
PASSIVE AND ACTIVE Y6 Using a passive voice allows the writer to affect the presentation of information in a sentence. It can, but doesn t always, hide the subject. I broke the plate. (Active you know who did it it starts with the subject.) The plate got broken. (Passive the subject (or do-er) is hidden. It starts with the object.) The plate got broken by me. (Still passive still starts with the object even though you know who did it.)
PASSIVE AND ACTIVE Y6 How and why do children use this? - To make their writing more stylish and effective to the reader. E.g. The door opened and the icy breeze flooded through me. I took a deep breath it was only Dad! This doesn t work with Dad opened the door
Adverbs and adverbial phrases Adverbs add to the verb how, when and where. He ate slowly. (adverb) He ate very late at night. (adverbial phrase) He ate on the ship s deck. (adverbial phrase)
Fronted adverbials (Year 4) Adverbials at the start of sentences: At the end of the lane, Bob paused. Last Friday, Bob was happy. After eating his meal, Bob slept. Carefully, he crept home.
What is the difference between a clause and a phrase? Later that day, Jeff came into school with his new dog. Jeff came into school with his new dog, later that day. Running out of breath, Jeff came into school with his new dog. Jeff came into school with his new dog, running out of breath.
Different types of sentences Simple sentence (a single main clause a subject and a complete verb) It rained on Sunday. Compound sentence (2 or more main clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions: eg and, but, so) It rained on Sunday but it was sunny on Monday. Complex sentences (a main clause with one or more subordinate clauses not making sense on their own often introduced by subordinating conjunctions: eg if, when, because, although, until, since) Although it rained, we still enjoyed the walk. Minor sentences (no verb) Rain!
Which one isn t a simple sentence? 1. A big dog chased me. 2. A big dog chased me all the way down the long lane to the shops at the end of the village. 3. A big dog chased me all the way down the long lane to the shops at the end of the village and I sought refuge in the Spar.
Are they all compound sentences? 1. I am happy and I m feeling relaxed. 2. I like coffee but I don t like tea. 3. I can get up enthusiastically and run for miles in the mornings or I can fall asleep again, just like that.
How do you know these are all complex sentences? 1. Although I am happy, I am tired. 2. It was raining when we went out. 3. You ll hurt yourself if you re not careful. 4. Because it was bitterly cold, the weather was unpleasant. 5. Where are the biscuits that I bought this morning? 6. Feeling enthusiastic, she decided to walk.
Relative Clauses Year 5 1a. John, who was feeling angry, began shouting. 1b. John, since he was very angry, began shouting. 1c. John, feeling very angry, began shouting. 3a. The biscuits, which were scrumptious, have all disappeared. 3b. The biscuits, because they were scrumptious, all disappeared. 3c. The biscuits, being scrumptious, all disappeared.
Complex sentence game The parents were excited to be here, despite feeling like there were back at school. Bob, who had never watched EastEnders before, fell asleep. Thinking that she had never seen so many deals, Amanda carried on searching on the Amazon website.
Conjunctions need to make sense The cart stopped. The hobbit got down. after but as as soon as because while before although whenever when so then
