Grammar Terms: Modal Verbs and Clauses

English · Grammar & Punctuation · language

Know and use Year 5 grammar terminology accurately when discussing reading and writing: modal verb, relative pronoun, relative clause, parenthesis, bracket, dash, cohesion, ambiguity

What mastery looks like

  • Label a relative clause in a sentence and identify the relative pronoun that introduces it, using correct terminology
  • Explain why a pair of brackets or dashes creates a parenthesis and describe its function using the term 'parenthesis'
  • Use the terms 'modal verb', 'cohesion', and 'ambiguity' when discussing how a writer has achieved particular effects in a text

Check your understanding

If you ask Grammar Terms: Modal Verbs and Clauses what a "modal verb" or a "relative clause" is, can they give you a clear explanation and point to an example in a sentence?
