This resource covers content from both Year 2 and Year 4 to prepare pupils for the main Year 5 learning of using commas in lists, adverbials and clauses. This Year 5 Using Commas in Lists Adverbials and Clauses Prior Learning worksheet includes questions on the use of commas in lists and adverbials. There are three varied fluency questions, two reasoning questions and one application question to give children the opportunity to show what they already know about using commas.

Suitable for use independently, in small groups or paired work, this worksheet could be used to informally assess your pupils' knowledge and understanding before the main lesson or as an intervention. A handy answer sheet is also provided to make marking quick and easy or to provide children with the opportunity to self or peer mark.
