Suggested ages 6–7
Learning journey
Your child is learning important grammar skills — understanding how to build more complex sentences, use punctuation correctly, and choose the right words to make their writing clearer and more interesting.
Evidence of understanding
- Write 'The dog runs' (singular) and 'The dogs run' (plural) with correct verb agreement
- Correct subject-verb agreement errors in sentences: fix 'The children plays' to 'The children play'
- Choose the correct verb form to match a singular or plural subject in a gap-fill exercise
Assessment prompt
If Subject-verb agreement writes "she hop" or "we hops", do they catch the mistake — and can they fix it to "she hops" and "we hop" so the subject and verb match?
