Pupils are expected to draw on a wide personal reading experience and to articulate their thinking clearly in discussion and writing.
Grammar
Pupils learn to distinguish between active and passive voice, understanding how changing the voice shifts the focus of a sentence.
Pupils are introduced to the subjunctive mood as a feature of formal writing, used to express hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situations.
