This Year 6 Recognising Formal and Informal Writing Prior Learning worksheet covers previous Year 4 learning on verb tenses, making it ideal for assessing understanding of verb tenses before pupils 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.
