Lesson 1 of 14
Year 1

Task 1 gives the letter of the right option as printed on the sheet. Task 2 lists the mistakes in the order they appear, with the correction. Task 3 and 4 answers are models, not the only acceptable wording: any answer that uses the rule the lesson taught should be credited.

MildTwo sentences? Put and in the middle. One and is enough.

1 · Tick the right one

a Ab Bc Ad AA = left option, B = right option

3 · Now you write

Model answers
  1. I made a cake and I ate it.
  2. I put the salt and pepper on my chips.
  3. Mia had soup and I had pasta.

4 · Help Polpetta

He has used too many ands and the sentence never stops. One and joins two sentences, then he needs a full stop: I got up and I ate. Then I cooked and I sang.

2 · Find the 3 mistakes

1I make the soup Nonna bakes the bread.I make the soup and Nonna bakes the bread.
2I make the buns Mia ices them.I make the buns and Mia ices them.
3We had cake and we had juice and we had buns and we had more cake.We had cake and we had juice. We had buns and we had more cake.

We open at nine and we shut at five is already right (the decoy). For the runaway sentence accept any split that leaves one and per sentence with a full stop between.

MediumTwo whole sentences can become one. and goes in the middle, and one is enough.

Model answers
  1. I made the dough and Nonna made the sauce.
  2. We opened the café and everybody came in.
  3. The soup was hot and I blew on it.

4 · Help Polpetta

One and is enough to join two sentences. He has chained five ideas with four ands, so nobody can hear where one idea stops. He needs a full stop: I got up and I ate my toast. Then I cooked and I sang. Then I sat down.

2 · Find the 4 mistakes

1I make the soup Nonna bakes the bread.I make the soup and Nonna bakes the bread.
2I make the buns Mia ices them.I make the buns and Mia ices them.
3Last week we had cake and we had juice and we had buns and we had more cake.Last week we had cake and we had juice. We had buns and we had more cake.
4Bring your friends they will love it.Bring your friends and they will love it.

We open at nine and we shut at five is the sentence that is already joined properly.

SpicyOne and joins two sentences. A list of ands is different, know which one you are writing.

1 · Tick the right one

a Ab Bc Bd AA = left option, B = right option

3 · Now you write

Model answers
  1. I opened the café and the queue was out of the door. Everybody wanted soup.
  2. We had bread and cheese and olives and apples.
  3. I got up and I ate. Then I cooked and I sang. After that I sat down.

4 · Help Polpetta

He has not joined anything. He has chopped his day into four tiny sentences and started each one with And, which is not the job and was meant to do. The and belongs in the middle: I got up and I ate. Then I cooked and I sang. A row of ands is fine in a list, like bread and cheese and olives and apples.

2 · Find the 5 mistakes

1I make the soup Nonna bakes the bread.I make the soup and Nonna bakes the bread.
2I make the buns Mia ices them and puts them in the window.I make the buns. Mia ices them and puts them in the window.
3Last week we had cake and we had juice and we had buns and we had more cake and nobody went home hungry.Last week we had cake and we had juice. We had buns and we had more cake. Nobody went home hungry.
4Bring your friends they will love it.Bring your friends and they will love it.
5There will be bread and cheese and olives and apples and come early.There will be bread and cheese and olives and apples. Come early.

We open at nine and we shut at five is already right. For the buns sentence also accept: I make the buns and Mia ices them and puts them in the window. The bread and cheese and olives and apples list is fine; the mistake is the new sentence (come early) joined onto the end of it.
