Year 6 SPAG Guide

(0)
A clear, pupil-friendly SPaG revision booklet designed for Year 6 learners who need simple explanations but still want to cover the full SATs grammar, punctuation and language content. This guide breaks down key word classes (determiners, adjectives, nouns, noun phrases, expanded noun phrases, prepositions and prepositional phrases, verbs, modal verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, pronouns, relative clauses and omitted relative pronouns) using step-by-step definitions, SATs tips, and model sentences. The punctuation section includes colons, semi-colons, hyphens, speech punctuation (direct and indirect speech), apostrophes (possession and contractions), and commas (lists, fronted adverbials, parenthesis, subordinate clauses, and clarity). It also includes an easy-to-apply “Pause Trick” to help pupils choose the correct punctuation when reading aloud. Further sections cover clauses (main, subordinate, relative), sentence types, tenses (including progressive and perfect), active vs passive voice, and the subjunctive. There is a dedicated section on Standard vs Non-Standard English with common SATs traps (was/were, did/done, double negatives, me/I) and tick-box style practice. Finally, the booklet includes 10 “Tricky SATs Questions Made Easy” with the full question included and simple, pupil-friendly explanations, focusing on comma meaning, formality, conjunction meaning, and identifying prepositions vs subordinating conjunctions.
