NOUNS:
 Remember to begin PROPER nouns with a CAPITAL letter.

 Most nouns add an ‘s’ to change from singular (one) to plural (many).
Examples: one computer, six computers one kitten, several kittens
However, there are exceptions which are explained in the Spelling Tool section.
Examples: one child, three children one tooth, two teeth one man, many men

PRONOUNS: Subjects and objects

REMINDER: We can find the subject and object of a sentence by

asking three questions:
Question 1: “What is happening?” This is the ACTION.

Question 2: “Who or what is doing the action?” This is the SUBJECT.

Question 3: “Who or what is it being done to?” This is the OBJECT.

Pronouns that are used as the SUBJECT of a sentence are:
I you he/ she/ it we you they who

Pronouns that are used as the OBJECT of a sentence are:
me you him/ her/ it us you them whom

These two types of pronouns are often mixed up. Make sure you use the correct
pronouns for the subject and the object of your sentence

Look at these examples:

Pronoun as subject: Sam and I are good friends. Sam and me are good friends.

Pronoun as object: Raj is working with us. Raj is working with we.

Self Assessment Guide for Grammar:

Use the ‘Traffic light’ system to colour in the boxes next to each target in the table:

My sentences make sense.

I have used adverbs and adjectives to add interest to my writing. Red/yellow/green Traffic lights

I have used verb tenses correctly.

Subject-verb agreement is correct (the verb matches the subject).
