      About the Publisher

      Collins Primary Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling has been designed to support all pupils who are studying grammar, punctuation and spelling from age 7 to 11, whether this is for exams or to revise the key building blocks of the English language.

      It contains the rules and advice that will help students get to grips with these essential aspects of the English language. There are clear, easy-to-follow explanations of how grammar works, what punctuation does, and how to spell correctly. Each section – grammar, punctuation and spelling – is laid out in an open, attractive design that guides the user easily through the information provided. Dozens of examples show exactly how the rules of English work.

      The final section is a dictionary list of words that pupils must know how to spell. These have been specially selected for this age group based on real-life experience from Spelling Bees conducted by Collins Dictionaries. The words are written out in full, with their word class clearly shown, along with any other forms such as plurals, comparatives and superlatives, and inflections – all of which are also written in full, making it easy for the pupil to understand. Many helpful tips on spelling are also included throughout the spelling dictionary section to make learning easier.

      Collins Primary Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling is an indispensable guide to the structure and rules of English, offering clear and accessible guidance for pupils from age 7 to 11.

      Grammar is the rules of a language that tell you how to organise words to make sentences. Think about language as a series of ‘blocks’ that you put together. There are rules about how these blocks can be joined. The blocks are:

      • the word

      • the phrase

      • the clause

      • the sentence

      This book explains what these are, how they work and how you combine them to write clear and effective English.

      Word class

      Every word in a language can be sorted into a group according to what it does within a sentence. These groups are known as word classes or parts of speech. Some words can belong to a number of different word classes. This section explains what the word classes are and what they do.

      Nouns

      A noun is a word that names something. In a sentence, the nouns are the words that tell you which people, places or things are involved.

      There are different kinds of nouns.

      Common nouns

      These nouns are used to name every example of a certain type of thing. They start with a small letter.

girl city picture

      There are three different types of common nouns.

      Concrete nouns

      A concrete noun is a physical object that you can actually touch:

donkey bicycle

doughnut

      Abstract nouns

      An abstract noun is something that does not physically exist and so cannot be touched:

happiness beauty

imagination

      Collective nouns

      A collective noun is a group or collection of things:

pack bunch flock

      Proper nouns

      These nouns are used for a particular person, place or thing. They start with a capital letter.

Andy Murray Switzerland

River Seine

      Singular and plural

      The singular form of a noun is used to mean only one of a thing:

a picture one elephant

the school

      The plural form is used to mean more than one of a thing:

two pictures ten elephants

four schools

      The possessive

      The possessive (which is sometimes called the possessive case) is used to show that a person or thing owns another person or thing. You add ’s to the end of the noun that is the owner:

      my mother’s sister

      Nick’s football boots

      the cat’s paw

      the stadium’s roof

      If the noun is a plural that already ends in s, you put an apostrophe at the end of the word:

      the soldiers’ uniforms

      those boys’ bicycles

      African elephants’ ears

      tractors’ wheels

      You
