What's included?
Practical Year 5 resources for using adverbs to indicate degrees of possibility (modal adverbs) in writing to convey uncertainty or likelihood, a key KS2 GPS objective. Activities promote varied fluency in selecting and placing modal adverbs (e.g., possibly, undoubtedly) to refine the meaning of the main verb or clause. This essential small step develops writing mastery of sophisticated nuance and is vital for national curriculum expectations. The CS Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Scheme provides structured writing application tasks.
