Literacy
Punctuation Correct use of punctuation will make your written work easier to follow and understand. Full Stops .
Semicolons ;
Go at the end of sentences that are neither questions nor exclamations. e.g. Andy opened the fridge and devoured the chocolate.
are used to connect main clauses without using a connective. e.g. He ran through the hedge; the injury was no surprise.
Commas ,
Colons :
have many uses. Some of the main ones are:
introduce lists, explanations or examples. e.g. I like these foods: bananas, treacle, black pudding and pizza.
• To separate words or phrases in a list. e.g. Life is short, happy, fun and tough. • To separate main clauses in sentences. e.g. The tap was running, the glass was full. • To introduce speech e.g. ...and David shouted, “Let me in!”
Quotation marks “ ” enclose a direct quotation or indicate speech. e.g. “I’ve eaten everything,” she said.
Punctuation continued Apostrophes ’
Parentheses (brackets) ( )
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.
enclose words adding further explanation to a sentence. e.g. My wellies (no they’re not my Dad’s) are excellent in winter.
Question marks ?
Exclamation marks !
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!
Parts of Speech The English language contains different ‘classes’ of words. These classes are called parts of speech. Nouns
We use nouns to identify people, things, places, and ideas. Nouns can be proper nouns or common nouns.
Proper nouns are particular names and they all start with a capital letter. They include: Peoples names: Place / Geographical names: Days of the week, months: Trade names: Shop names:
John Smith Spain, River Thames, Manchester Monday, June Jaguar, Hoover Next, Tesco
Common nouns refer to any everyday person, thing, place, or idea. e.g. girl, desk, fish, fun Pronouns
Pronouns can be used to replace nouns in sentences.
Jane went on holiday = She went on holiday. The pronoun she replaces the proper noun Jane. Other pronouns: I, me, her, it, this, that
Parts of Speech continued Adjectives
The main use of adjectives is to tell us something about a noun. e.g. size, colour, how many, whose.
The green book. The student is intelligent Verbs
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.
Examples: The dog ran after the ball (past) I feel full (present) I will return (future) Adverbs Examples:
Adverbs are used with verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where and how much. The boy shouted loudly She is totally annoyed They all drank too quickly
Parts of Speech continued Prepositions
These words usually relate two other words to each other
Examples: Teenager with money The secret between us Connectives
These words are used to join words, clauses and, sometimes, sentences.
Examples: Come to the house, then have some food Jack and Jill Interjections Examples:
Interjections are used to express feeling and emotion. Exclamation marks are often used with them. Help! I’m drowning Oops! I’ve broken it
Connectives - Connecting Words To show the order of events • next • then • secondly • meanwhile • finally • eventually • later on
• at first • until • at length • up to that point/time • in the interim • after
To show reservation • however • although • unless • except
To explain why / justify
• if • as long as • apart from
• because of • consequently • thanks to • owing to • so • therefore • as a result
Simple joining words • and • but
• or • nor
Explaining • in other words • to put it another way
Connectives - Connecting Words To emphasise things • moreover • most of all • least of all • most importantly To compare • equally • in the same way • similarly • likewise • as with • like
To add to a point • notably • in particular • especially • significantly To illustrate • for example • as revealed by • in the case of • such as • for instance • namely
• nevertheless • additionally • furthermore • besides
• also • still • anyway • even so
To contrast • whereas • instead of • alternatively • otherwise • unlike • on the other hand
Apostrophes to Show Omission Use an apostrophe ‘ to show where a letter has been omitted from (left out of) a word or phrase.
I’m I’ve I’ll I’d she’s he’ll we’d we’ve we’ll
- - - - - - - - - - -
I am I have I will I should I would she is she has he will we had we have we will
you’re you’ve you’ll you’d
- - - -
you are you have you will you had
they’re - they’ll - they’d - they’ve -
they are they will they had they have
aren’t - are not can’t - cannot couldn’t - could not could’ve - could have didn’t - did not don’t - do not doesn’t - does not how’ve - how have how’s - how is isn’t - is not it’s - it is - it has
mightn’t mustn’t
- might not - must not
shouldn’t - should not should’ve - should have ‘til ‘tis
- until - it is
wouldn’t - would not would’ve - would have
Apostrophes to Show Possession Use 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 Simile
Personification
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
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!
Metaphor
Alliteration
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.
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.
Figures of Speech and Poetic Devices Onomatopoeia
Euphemism
The use of words that have been formed from the sound associated with the word.
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’
e.g. cuckoo / sizzle / plop / hiss / buzz The chicken curry sizzled in the hot pan.
Hyperbole
Pun
Exaggeration that is used for effect and cannot be taken literally.
A humerous play on words to suggest different meanings.
e.g. I’ve had a million phone calls today. I walked half way the country to get here.
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.

Changing decimals to percentages Multiply the decimal by 100% e.g. 0.15 = 0.15 x 100% = 15%
e.g. 14% =

Percentages A simple ‘splitting’ method to help you work out percentages.
e.g. to find 37% of £80 25% = £20 10% = £8 1% = £0.80 1% = £0.80
100% £80
50% (half it) £40
25% (half it again) £20
10% (÷10) £8
5% (half it) £4
37% = £29.60 1% (÷10 again) £0.80
21/2% (half it again) £2
Angles - Equal Angles c
b a
Vertically opposite angles are equal when two lines cross
d
b
angle a = angle b
and
angle c = angle d
When a line crosses two parallel lines:
a
• alternate angles are equal.
angle a = angle b
c • corresponding angles are equal.
a
angle a = angle c
Angles - 180˚ Angles When a line crosses two parallel lines the sum of the interior angles is 180˚
b a
angle a + angle b = 180˚
d
c
e
The sum of the angles inside a triangle is 180˚
g h
130˚ x 120˚
The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180˚ angle c + angle d + angle e = 180˚
f
Angles - 360˚ Angles
angle f + angle g + angle h = 180˚
The sum of all angles around a point is 360˚ Use subtraction to find the missing angle. 360˚ - 130˚ - 120˚ = x
