Introduction
The Orders for English in the National Curriculum reinforce the increasing
emphasis being placed on standard English and language study. Attainment Target 3:
Writing states that:
English Grammar is designed to give Key Stage 4 students clear, straightforward and
thorough guidance on: the parts of speech and their role; sentences and their
constituent parts; and punctuation. A range of linked activities provide opportunities
for consolidation and assessment. The subject matter is set out in short, logical and
accessible units with illustrations.
English Grammar has been written so that it can be used alongside any scheme of
work and can be used equally well as:
• the basis for a whole course, providing a complete, coherent exploration
of grammar
• a set of introductory or assessment modules to be taught in conjunction with
other materials
• an invaluable resource to be dipped into to help explain or introduce
grammatical terms as and when they appear.
Answers and a glossary of terms are provided at the back of the pack.

man, handing him a hundred pounds. Harry held his hand out. The money, the whole hundred pounds, was
his.
