Subjunctive Form in Formal Speech and Writing Prior Learning
Worksheet
This Year 6 Subjunctive Form in Formal Speech and Writing Prior Learning worksheet covers previous Y6 learning and is a fantastic resource to use to assess children's understanding of formal and informal language before they move on to the main lesson on using the subjunctive form. With three varied fluency, two reasoning and one application question, children are asked to answer questions such as identifying formal and informal language in text and explaining whether a letter that has been written is formal or informal and why.
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 questions.
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]
