Writing your own sentences containing determiners
Determiners are words that identify nouns. There are different kinds of determiners. Can you write some sentences with different kinds of determiners?
Writing in the present perfect tense
The present perfect tense is formed by adding the present tense of the verb ‘have’ to the past participle of the main verb. Can you complete these sentences using the present perfect?
Using the present perfect
The present perfect is formed by the present tense of the verb to have and the past participle of the main verb. Look at this dialogue between two people. Can you underline all the sentences that contain the present perfect?
Using the present perfect tense
Can you cut out these sentences halves and pair them up in a way that makes sense using the present perfect tense?
Using prepositional phrases
Prepositional phrases tell us more about a particular noun or verb. They always contain a preposition as well as a noun. Cut out these sentence starters and prepositional phrases. Can you match them up?
Using ellipsis in quotations
We use ellipsis (three dots) to show that some words have been left out of a quotation. Look at these quotations. Decide on some text to remove and then show that words are missing by using ellipsis.
Spotting transitive and intransitive verbs
A transitive verb is one that needs an object to complete its meaning in a sentence. An intransitive verb does not need an object. Underline all the verbs in the following sentences and then write in the right-hand column whether they are transitive or intransitive.
Spotting determiners in a text
Determiners tell us exactly which nouns are being referred to in a text. Here is a text about polar bears. Can you underline all the determiners?
Present perfect: writing your own sentences
We use the present perfect to talk about something that has happened in the past and is still happening in the present. Can you rewrite these sentence in the present perfect tense?
Present perfect: sorting sentences
We use the present perfect to talk about a past action that is continuous in to the present. Cut out these sentences. Can you organise them into the correct columns in the table?
Prepositional phrases
Prepositions tell you WHEN (before, after, during) or WHERE something is happening (under, to, up, in, on, through, beside, near). A prepositional phrase is a group of words containing a preposition and a noun. Can you underline the prepositional phrases in these sentences?
Matching sentences containing determiners
Determiners are words that go before a noun and tell you something about it. Look at the sentences on the left and the sentences on the right. Can you draw lines to match them up?
Identifying prepositional phrases
A prepositional phrase is a group of words containing a preposition and a noun. Prepositional phrases tell us more about a particular noun or verb. Look at this text about The Great Fire of London. Can you underline all the prepositional phrases in it?
Identifying noun phrases
A noun phrase is a group of words that act in the same way as a noun in a sentence. Underline these noun phrases in the sentences.
Ellipsis and quotations
In a text we can use ellipsis (three dots) to show that something is missing. Here are some quotations from an interview with a children’s author. Re-write them using ellipsis.
Different types of determiners
Determiners help us understand which noun is being talked about. There are different kinds of determiner. Look at the sentences in the left-hand column. Can you underline the determiner in each sentence and write down what kind of determiner it is in the right-hand column?
Determiners: filling in the gaps
Determiners are words that come before a noun and specify which (or how many) nouns we’re talking about. Each of these sentences is missing determiners. Can you add in determiners that you think will make sense?
Adverbial phrases: matching halves of sentences
An adverbial phrase is a group of words (without a verb) that tells us when, how or where something is done. If they are placed at the beginning of a sentence adverbial phrases are called fronted adverbials. Cut out all these sentence halves. The first set are fronted adverbials. Can you match them to the other half of the sentence?
