Do your children still struggle to know where to place full stops? Do they understand the differences between the various components of sentences: subjects, verbs, objects, prepositional phrases, adverbs and adverbial phrases, co-ordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions? Can they distinguish between complex, compound and simple sentences? Or between different types of nouns (pronouns, proper nouns, common nouns) and different types of verbs (modal verbs, being verbs, infinitives, continuous verbs etc.)? All this is covered in this ultimate sentence construction grammar lesson. Help your children begin to really understand what makes a sentence and not just a phrase. Help them understand where to place full-stops and how to use these different sentence components to make their writing more descriptive and interesting. This resource is a PowerPoint presentation which contains all the information slides and consolidation activities you need to teach children how to contruct powerful, descriptive and grammatically correct sentences! The presentation includes: √ Learning objective √ Success criteria √ Starter activity - AFL (Where should the full stops go?) √ Information and explanation slides √ Shared/ whole class consolidation activities for each learning point √ Independent, differentiated activities (3 difficulty levels) √ Activities reviewing relevant prior learning √ Answer slides √ Plenary activity What does this lesson cover exactly?

The subject usually (but not always) comes in front of the verb and almost all sentences have a subject (except for commands where the subject may be implied as β€˜you’). The subject will be some form of noun (pronoun, proper noun, common noun etc.) Differentiated consolidation activity - identify the subject in these sentences All clauses must have a verb (otherwise they are just a β€˜phrase’). Verbs may be action/ doing words or β€˜being’ verbs (is, are, am, was, were, will be etc.) Verbs tell us the tense of a clause. If a sentence has just one clause, it is a simple sentence but clauses can be joined together to make compound and complex sentences using conjunctions. There are two main types of conjunction: subordinating conjunctions which join a subordinating clause to a main clause to add extra information about the main clause and coordinating conjunctions which join two main clauses together. There are only seven coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, ye PLEASE NOTE - Please look at the β€˜notes’ section of the PowerPoint for additional information about each slide.
