Featured topics include fronted adverbials; relative clauses; expanded noun phrases; modal verbs and adverbs to express possibility; conditional sentences; verbs with prefixes and suffixes; commas to avoid ambiguity; auxiliary verbs; linking ideas across paragraphs; Standard English and double negatives; and parenthesis (brackets, commas and dashes). Each pupil book practice page includes a concise summary of the key learning point for each lesson, followed by two short 'Try it' exercises and a 'Sentence practice' activity. Regular 'Revision' pages reinforce learning, while imaginative 'Writing tasks' allow children to 'show off' their grammar and punctuation skills in a more formal context.
