SLIDE 10
Grammar and spelling terms
- Plural and possessive apostrophe
- Fronted adverbial – a word or phrase that normally comes after the verb
may be moved before the verb: when this happens, we say it has been ‘fronted’. For example, a fronted adverbial is an adverbial which has been moved before the verb. When writing fronted phrases, we often follow them with a comma.
- Relative clause - a special type of subordinate clause that modifies a noun.
It often does this by using a relative pronoun such as who or that to refer back to that noun, though the relative pronoun that is often omitted.
- Modal verb - used to change the meaning of other verbs. They can
express meanings such as certainty, ability, or obligation. The main modal verbs are will, would, can, could, may, might, shall, should, must and ought.
- Parenthesis - a word or phrase inserted as an explanation or afterthought
into a passage which is grammatically complete without it, in writing usually marked off by brackets, dashes, or commas.

What is grammar?
“Grammar is the business of taking a language to pieces to see how it works.” – Professor David Crystal Grammar provides the ‘rules’ for joining words and phrases into
- sentences. The function of a word or phrase within a sentence is key
to understanding grammar so a good place to start is to encourage children to love reading and to experience quality written language.
