Subjunctive Form in Formal Speech and Writing Application
Worksheet
Use this Year 6 Subjunctive Form in Formal Speech and Writing Application worksheet to challenge your children's knowledge and understanding of the subjunctive form. Presented with images and a word bank to support, children must write signs that could be found around a theme park, using the subjunctive form to achieve a formal tone.
This writing task could be used as an end of unit assessment piece or used as a guided writing model for the whole class or smaller groups of children. A modelled answer is provided to support all teaching staff.
Curriculum Objectives
- Develop their understanding of the concepts set out in English appendix 2 by: Recognising vocabulary and structures that is appropriate for formal speech and writing, including subjunctive forms
- The difference between vocabulary typical of informal speech and vocabulary appropriate for formal speech and writing [for example, find out – discover; ask for – request; go in – enter]
- The difference between structures typical of informal speech and structures appropriate for formal speech and writing [for example, the use of question tags: He’s your friend, isn’t he?, or the use of subjunctive forms such as If I were or Were they to come in some very formal writing and speech]
