Use of the forms 'a' and 'an'

If a word starts with a consonant sound, we should use 'a.' If a word starts with a vowel sound, we should use 'an.' When in doubt, say the word out loud and listen for the sound at the beginning. If it sounds like a consonant, use 'a.' If it sounds like a vowel, use 'an.' This handy worksheet asks students to complete the sentences by writing 'a' or 'an'. Encourage Year 3 students to practise using 'a' and 'an' in their writing and speaking, and to ask for help when they're not sure which one to use.

Using conjunctions to express time, place and cause

Using conjunctions can make sentences more complex and interesting by connecting related ideas together.

Here are some examples of conjunctions expressing time, place, and cause:

Time conjunctions: after, before, when, while, as, until, since, once, as soon as, by the time.

Place conjunctions: above, below, between, inside, outside, near, next to, behind, in front of, across.

Cause conjunctions: because, since, so, therefore, as a result, due to, owing to, thanks to, on account of, in order to.

With this worksheet, students choose the correct conjunction to complete the sentences and then create sentences of their own.

Inverted commas, also known as speech marks, are punctuation marks used to enclose a direct quotation or a piece of dialogue in writing.

Using 'a' and 'an' correctly

Use 'a' before words that start with a consonant sound, for example: a dog, a book, a unicorn.

Use 'an' before words that start with a vowel sound, for example: an apple, an egg, an umbrella.

Students read the sentences and circle the correct answer. There is an answer sheet included for quick marking. Students can also practise marking their own work. Use this helpful worksheet at home or in the classroom to help children learn when to use 'a' and 'an' in their writing. 

Using apostrophes to show singular and plural possession

For single nouns, we add an apostrophe and an 's'. For example:

The cat's food bowl was empty.

For plural nouns, we add an apostrophe after the 's'. For example:

The cats' beds were filled with soft blankets. 

Prefixes - super–, anti– and auto–

Adding a prefix to a root word can change its meaning and form a different word. 

For example:

super + hero = superhero

Students write the root words in the correct columns to match them to the correct prefixes.

A conjunction is a word that is used to join two parts of a sentence.  For example:
