Strong writers understand how language works. In this sheet you will practise grammar, expand your vocabulary, and write carefully crafted sentences. Every question helps build your skills as a reader and writer.
Many English words change form depending on how they are used in a sentence. A noun names a thing or idea. A verb shows action or being. An adjective describes a noun. Understanding root words helps you spell and understand new words — for example, 'determine' is the root of 'determined' and 'determination'.
Which word is the correct noun form of 'determined'?
Correct the spelling of these words.
When you encounter an unfamiliar word, try to use the context (the words around it) to work out its meaning. Prefixes and suffixes also give clues: 'micro-' means small, 'extra-' means beyond or more than usual, 'inter-' means between.
Write the meaning of 'intervened' as used in: I intervened to stop them fighting.
Write the meaning of 'extraordinary' as used in: It was extraordinary.
What does the prefix 'micro-' mean?
A conjunction joins two clauses. Subordinating conjunctions (although, once, unless, because, when) introduce a subordinate clause — a part of a sentence that cannot stand alone. When you move the subordinate clause to the START of a sentence, you must add a comma after it.
Example
'Although the water was not deep, the tide was strong.' — Notice the comma after the subordinate clause.
Rewrite starting with the conjunction: The tide was strong although the water was not deep.
Rewrite starting with the conjunction: The jaws of the plant clamp shut once an insect lands.
Rewrite starting with the conjunction: All will be lost unless help arrives soon.
Add words and phrases to 'programme' to write the longest noun phrase you can.
