Topic 3: Prepositions

Topic 4: Contractions

Notes: A contraction is a shorter way of saying two words. We use an apostrophe ( ' ) to show where one or more letters have been left out. For example: is not becomes isn't, and I am becomes I'm.

Match the words on the left with their contraction on the right.

Rewrite the underlined words in each sentence using a contraction.

27. I am nine years old.   ____________________
28. That is not my pen.   ____________________
29. You are my best friend.   ____________________

Topic 5: Punctuation

Notes: Punctuation helps us understand sentences.
A full stop ( . ) ends a statement. (The dog is barking.)
A question mark ( ? ) ends a question. (Where are you going?)
A comma ( , ) separates items in a list. (I need milk, eggs, and bread.)

Add a full stop (.) or a question mark (?) at the end of each sentence.

30. My favourite colour is blue__
31. What time is it__
32. Are you coming to my party__
33. My birthday is in June__

Add commas in the correct places in these sentences.

34. For breakfast I had toast cereal and orange juice.
35. My favourite animals are lions tigers and bears.

Topic 6: Using 'and', 'but', or 'so'

Notes: These words are conjunctions that join sentences or ideas.
Use and to add information. (I like to sing and dance.)
Use but to show a contrast. (He is small but strong.)
Use so to show a result. (I was tired, so I went to bed.)

Circle the correct word to complete each sentence.

36. She wants to play outside, ( and / but / so ) it is raining.
