English Task 3 – Grammar and Spelling

Spelling: This week we will focus on words with ‘ch’ pronounced as ‘sh’. Most of these words are taken from French.

Circle the word that is spelt correctly in the following sentences:

1. The chef/shef was in the kitchen.

2. I had to use a machine/mashine.

3. We looked in the brochure/brochure for our next holiday.

4. We drank shampagne/champagne on holiday.

5. I had to use my parashute/parachute when jumping off the plane.

6. We put the rubbish down the chute/shute.

7. The man had a curly moustashe/moustache.

Challenge: Have a go at using these words in your own sentences. Can you use two or more of these words into one sentence?

Grammar: Our grammar focus this week is subordinate clause.

Look at the first example: Like a bullet speeding through the air, he ran through the door.

he ran through the door – makes sense on its own, so it is the main clause.

Like a bullet speeding through the air – does not make sense on its own but has to depend on the other part to

make sense, so it is a subordinate clause.

Top tip: Usually there is a conjunction at the start of the subordinate clause.
