Product Information

Simple sentences are pretty simple: just a single independent clause, no more, no less. This includes subject and verbs, but can also include objects. See the Year 8 and 9 sections for more grammar exercises if the ones below are too hard. These worksheets may also be useful for revision at A-level.

Sentence games successfully introduce both the initial concepts of sentence construction to young learners and extending that learning with more complex structures with older learners. Games like, Sentence Scramble, Sentence Bridge Builder and Trapped Sentences all help to cement sentence structures. As the name suggests, compound-complex sentences combine compound sentences with complex sentences. They require at least two independent clauses and at least one subordinating clause. To combine them, follow the specific grammar rules for each; be sure you’re using your coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions in the right places.

Every sentence requires at least a verb and a subject ; a verb is an action, and a subject is the noun that does the action. As a complete frame with all topic words (including lots of verbs) to support direct writing in the classroom;

Compound sentences: Acompound sentence joins two main clauses and a connective. The clauses are linked by connectives. For example, 'Sarah liked football but preferred rugby.' We also have articles on the best games for other English and Phonics subjects as well. These include:Common subordinating conjunctions include because , since , although , unless , and while , as well as relative pronouns like that , which , whatever , whenever , whoever , etc. This sentence contains two clauses: (1) The roads are icy and (2) because it rained last night . Each sentence has a subject ( the roads & it ) and a verb ( are & rained ), but only the first clause is a complete sentence by itself. Our sentence building worksheet is best used in conjunction with this sentence building poster. The format is of the poster is replicated in the worksheet to help inspire creative sentences.

This topic could also encourage children to travel to more English-speaking destinations, such as New Zealand, the United States and Canada.

Although subordinate clauses have both subjects and verbs, they cannot exist on their own. They contain special words called subordinating conjunctions , which connect them to independent clauses.

Every word can be sorted by the kind of grammatical job it does. These categories are what we call “parts of speech”, and they were first described by the Ancient Greeks, followed by the Romans, before being copied into English by people studying Latin. They’re usually described as follows: Sentence builders are made for both fiction and non-fiction texts and can be a springboard for teachers to create their own. The sentence builders specifically aim to reduce the pressure on children to be able to create and construct their ideas into a written form without the worry of whether they can spell and/or recall any of the key words.We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.”—Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn Complex sentences Sentences and sentence building are one of the most important skills in English. It is the move away from decoding words with phonics or the recognition of sounds and shows a move to actual communication. Some of the best ways to teach how to construct sentences are with games and activities. We highlight the best Free games to play online and in classrooms. Language is full of fun little quirks like this, and if you’d like to help your class or child get a handle on them, then you’ve come to the right place. This worksheet would be a great way to give kids some practice at converting a tepid turn of phrase into a tremendous sentence. Notice that the subordinate clause because it rained last night slightly changes the meaning of the first sentence by adding new and important information. That’s the main purpose of subordinate clauses—to improve an independent clause with essential details. The indirect object is the noun that receives the direct object. In the example above, the indirect object is me , because that’s who receives the calculator. Indirect objects come between the verb and direct object.

It’s then up to your class or child to add a few extra elements to make them a bit more interesting. These could be from the top of their heads, or from a pre-prepared list. If you’d like to see more Twinkl resources to help you build a lesson plan on this topic, then you might want to try a few of the following: Man in striped blue shirt and glasses: A sentence should open, introduce a subject, deal with that subject and then come to a conclusion. In this example, am waiting is the verb. The main verb is wait, but when we conjugate it in the present continuous, we use the – ing form and add the auxiliary verb am . The subject is I , the person who waits.

Sentence structure can get pretty complicated, especially at first when learning the differences between clauses and conjunctions. To help you out, Grammarly gives you suggestions on how to transform whole sentences for clarity . When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.”—Viktor Frankl Adorable though sentences like this are (unless you’re really not a cat person), they’re a little on the boring side, no? What’s more, if we were to spice things up by adding a few adjectives and adverbs, then we would arrive at something that’s completely different in meaning:
