This in-depth Year 6 Recognising Formal and Informal Writing Prior Learning worksheet covers previous Y4 learning and is a fantastic resource to use to assess children's understanding of verb tenses before they move on to the main lesson on formal and informal writing.

With six questions, children are asked to identify the correct verb forms and edit sentences using standard English. Use this resource as a way to assess children's prior knowledge before moving on or alternatively, this could be used for those children who are less confident with verb tenses.
