SPELLING & GRAMMAR REVISION.

If your stuck with your adjectives, your homophones and your apostrophes, then you have come to the right place. If you need help with your nouns, prepositions, your pronouns and your adverbs then your in for a treat because I know ALL about them.

First up, the apostrophe! The apostrophe can be a tricky thing to master as lots of people get mixed up when it comes to a word with an s on the end. Instead of putting cakes for example, they put cake's! It annoys me so much!!

Here is how to use an apostrophe CORRECTLY- Omission and Possession. Simple. An omission is where you mush two words together to create one word, such as have and not, you mush them up to make haven't! Next, possession- let's say that Miss Mason had a book, then we would call it Miss Mason's book.

Next, the homophone- A homophone is where two words sound the same but are spelled differently and have a different meaning for example, flower and flour sound exactly the same but have a different meaning and spelling. It is exactly the same with son and sun.

Now for the adjective- An adjective is a describing word. Say I had a man, I could describe him as scary or annoying.

Next, the noun- A noun is a naming word such as cat or dog. There are also proper nouns these are names of places or people such as Paris.

Fifthly, the preposition- A preposition is a place or position of an object. It might help if you remembered it as position from preposition. This way, you will never get your prepositions wrong.  

Now for the pronoun- A pronoun is a word used to indicate a person/thing that has already been mentioned in the story or writing.

Finally, the adverb- an adverb is an "ly" word that describes a verb (doing word) e.g. The boy was walking through the cave. To add an adverb to that I could add in cautiously. The boy was walking cautiously through the cave. Now it is a much better sentence.

I hope that this has helped you a lot.
