Literacy

PunctuationCorrect use of punctuation will make your written work easier to follow and understand.

Go at the end of sentences that are neither questions nor exclamations. e.g. Andy opened the fridge and devoured the chocolate.

have many uses. Some of the main ones are:

• Toseparatewordsorphrasesinalist. e.g. Life is short, happy, fun and tough.

• Toseparatemainclausesinsentences. e.g. The tap was running, the glass was full.

• Tointroducespeech e.g. ...and David shouted, “Let me in!”

are used to connect main clauses without using a connective. e.g. He ran through the hedge; the injury was no surprise.

introduce lists, explanations or examples.e.g. I like these foods: bananas, treacle, black pudding and pizza.

enclose a direct quotation or indicate speech.e.g. “I’ve eaten everything,” she said.

Full Stops .

Commas ,

Semicolons ;

Colons :

Quotation marks “ ”

Punctuation continued

are used where letters have been missed out or to show possession. e.g. You’d (you would) never believe it. This is John’s book.

Whenever you or a character in your writing wants to ask a question, you should end the sentence with a question mark. e.g. What do you think you are doing? The man asked, “What time is it now?”

are used at the end of sentences to express anger or surprise. They are used with interjections. e.g. I’ve never seen anything like it! They are revolting! Help!

enclose words adding further explanation to a sentence. e.g. My wellies (no they’re not my Dad’s) are excellent in winter.

Apostrophes ’

Question marks ? Exclamation marks !

Parentheses (brackets) ( )

Parts of SpeechThe English language contains different ‘classes’ of words. These classes are called parts of speech.

Proper nouns are particular names and they all start with a capital letter. They include:

Peoples names: John SmithPlace / Geographical names: Spain, River Thames, ManchesterDays of the week, months: Monday, JuneTrade names: Jaguar, HooverShop names: Next, Tesco

Common nouns refer to any everyday person, thing, place, or idea. e.g. girl, desk, fish, fun

Jane went on holiday = She went on holiday. The pronoun she replaces the proper noun Jane. Other pronouns: I, me, her, it, this, that

Nouns

Pronouns

We use nouns to identify people, things, places, and ideas. Nouns can be proper nouns or common nouns.

Pronouns can be used to replace nouns in sentences.

Parts of Speech continued

The green book. The student is intelligent

Examples: The dog ran after the ball (past) I feel full (present) I will return (future)

Examples: The boy shouted loudly She is totally annoyed They all drank too quickly

Adjectives

Verbs

Adverbs

The main use of adjectives is to tell us something about a noun.e.g. size, colour, how many, whose.

Most verbs tell us about a noun’s actions or a noun’s state. The tense of the verb shows the time of the action or state.

Adverbs are used with verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where and how much.

Parts of Speech continued

Examples: Help! I’m drowning Oops! I’ve broken it

Interjections Interjections are used to express feeling and emotion. Exclamation marks are often used with them.

Examples: Teenager with money The secret between us

Examples: Come to the house, then have some food Jack and Jill

Prepositions

Connectives

These words usually relate two other words to each other

These words are used to join words, clauses and, sometimes, sentences.

Apostrophes to Show OmissionUse an apostrophe ‘ to show where a letter has been omitted from (left out of) a word or phrase.

I’m - I amI’ve - I haveI’ll - I willI’d - I should - I wouldshe’s - she is - she hashe’ll - he willwe’d - we hadwe’ve - we havewe’ll - we will

you’re - you areyou’ve - you haveyou’ll - you willyou’d - you had

they’re - they arethey’ll - they willthey’d - they hadthey’ve - they have

aren’t - are notcan’t - cannotcouldn’t - could notcould’ve - could havedidn’t - did notdon’t - do notdoesn’t - does nothow’ve - how havehow’s - how isisn’t - is notit’s - it is - it has

mightn’t - might notmustn’t - must not

shouldn’t - should notshould’ve - should have

‘til - until‘tis - it is

wouldn’t - would notwould’ve - would have

Apostrophes to Show PossessionUse an apostrophe ‘ to show something’s owner (or user)

With singular nouns not ending in s (e.g. cat) places ’s at the end.e.g. The cat’s teeth - the teeth belonging to the cat.

With singular nouns ending in s (Mrs Jones) place ’s at the end.e.g. Mrs Jones’ book - the book belonging to Mrs Jones.

With plural nouns not ending in s (e.g. men) places ’s at the end.e.g. The men’s changing room - the changing room used by men.

With plural nouns ending in s (e.g. girls) places ’ after the s.e.g. The girls’ boyfriends - the boyfriends of the girls.

Figures of Speech and Poetic Devices

When an object is compared to something similar in behaviour or appearance.A simile is often introduced by ‘like’ or ‘as’e.g. Skin like ice As sure footed as a mountain goat

We use a metaphor when we describe something with a word or phrase that means something in our imagination but doesn’t really apply.e.g. It was a dirty trick. David is a cheeky monkey.

When something that is not human is given thoughts, feelings and emotions that only a human can have, or when something is called he or she.e.g. The snowman stared at us from the garden That’s my car - she’s great!

This is the repetition of the same letter or sound

e.g. She created rapidly repeating random rows of real rubbish They were furry-faced female foxes.

Simile

Metaphor Alliteration

Personification

Figures of Speech and Poetic Devices

The use of words that have been formed from the sound associated with the word.

e.g. cuckoo / sizzle / plop / hiss / buzz The chicken curry sizzled in the hot pan.

Exaggeration that is used for effect and cannot be taken literally.

e.g. I’ve had a million phone calls today. I walked half way the country to get here.

Using mild or vague expressions to refer to something unpleasant or embarrassing.e.g. ‘We had to put the cat to sleep’ instead of ‘We had the cat killed’ ‘She passed away’ instead of ‘She died’

A humerous play on words to suggest different meanings.

e.g. ‘I’ve been to the dentist several times so I know the drill.’ A pun on the double meaning of the word drill.

In a right-angled triangle:

Side C is the longest side, which is called the hypotenuse

This is the special 3 - 4 - 5 triangle

Examples: Find the missing side in these triangles

c2 = b2 + a2

= 42 + 32

= 16 + 9 = 25

c = 25 = 5cm

c2 = b2 + a2
