What's included?
Dedicated Year 2 resources for recognising the subordinating conjunctions 'when' and 'if', vital for teaching complex sentences in the KS1 national curriculum for GPS. Activities build reasoning skills by requiring pupils to identify how these words express time or condition within a sentence structure. This essential small step supports deepening understanding of dependent clauses and is crucial for writing mastery. The CS Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Scheme provides focused analysis tasks on these complex connectives.
