Well done for your reading and comprehension work yesterday. We will be doing some more writing about this story later in the week.
Today’s focus is:
Grammar
Recap:
Commas are used to separate items in a list.
I play football, rugby, cricket and tennis.
You need commas between all the things in the list except the last two. You need to put ‘and’ or ‘or’ between the last two things.
Verbs are doing or being words.
They play video games.
Inverted commas show when someone is speaking.
Inverted commas go at the start and end of the speech.
‘’I would like a cake,’’ said Matthew.
There is always a punctuation mark before the final speech marks.
A coordinating conjunction joins words or groups of words that are of the same importance in the sentence.
A green bird eagerly pecked the juicy apple and ate it noisily.
Other coordinating conjunctions: and, but, or, yet, so
