This KS1 Real Grammar resources pack provides everything that you need to successfully explore command sentences with pupils in Year 2 or to revisit this learning. Teaching slides, worksheets, games and an opportunity to apply the new learning in a writing task are all included to create a complete resource to teach how exclamation sentences are formed.

Pupils should be familiar with writing and punctuating simple sentences. A Year 2 Real Grammar resource pack on punctuating sentences and a Year 1 resource pack on forming simple sentences are available if these areas need to be revisited.

What is a sentence?

A sentence is a group of words that is complete and makes sense when they are grouped together. It is a complete thought. A sentence can be a main clause on its own (often called a simple sentence) or two or more clauses can be combined to make a multiclause sentence.

A capital letter is used to mark the beginning of a sentence and a full stop, exclamation mark or question mark is used at the end to show that it is complete.

Sentences in different forms are introduced in Year 2. A sentence can be a statement, question, command or exclamation.

What is a command sentence?

A command is a sentence that gives an instruction and is used in instructional writing. A command sentence begins with an imperative verb (also known as a bossy verb) such as go, mix, put, push, wash or sit.

Commands are often punctuated with a full stop but an exclamation mark can also be used to show strong emotion or urgency.

  • Place the mix in the bowl.
  • Push the door.
  • Sit in your sit.
  • Go to your room!

What is included in this resource pack?

This pack is divided into five parts:

TEACH

This section includes PowerPoint teaching slides and teaching notes with an optional script to introduce command sentences. It can also be used to revisit this aspect of grammar with pupils.

PRACTISE

An independent activity for pupils to practise using what they have been taught, allowing teachers to assess understanding.

REVISIT

A series of short, 10-minute activities that can be used following the TEACH session to revisit and rehearse what has been taught. These may be short writing tasks, grammar games or editing/proofreading activities.

APPLY

A short writing task where pupils can use the grammar skills taught in context to produce independent writing.

REVISE

Five SATs style test questions, including cloze activities and multiple choice quiz questions, based on the grammar that has been taught.

Teachers can choose which section of the resource pack to use according to their pupils’ needs and could use the activities over a series of lessons or weeks

Teacher notes are provided to show how these quality resources could be used with pupils.

How is this resource differentiated?

The PRACTISE and REVISE sections include three activities differentiated for three levels of ability:

  • Worksheet 1 for pupils who may need support. Questions will have a lower cognitive domain (what is being asked of pupils) and/or vocabulary used may be simplified where possible.
  • Worksheet 2 for pupils working at age related expectations.
  • Worksheet 3 for pupils who may need an additional challenge and may be working at a greater depth in this area. Questions will have a higher cognitive domain with more challenging vocabulary.

SUPPORT and CHALLENGE ideas are also included in the teacher notes of each section where relevant, with ideas of how to support pupils working towards the expected standard or at greater depth in this area.
