Standard English Quiz

The KS2 Grammar Quiz by KS2Gems is a resource designed for Year 4 students to practice and assess their understanding of Standard English, particularly focusing on verb inflections. The quiz is composed of ten questions and is intended to be used after teaching Standard English for retrieval practice. It can also serve as a tool to evaluate pupil knowledge before teaching or as a starter activity. Each question is followed by an answer slide, which helps to reinforce the correct use of Standard English in formal speaking and writing.

Questions range from defining Standard English to identifying and correcting sentences that do not use Standard English. For example, students are asked to choose sentences that correctly use Standard English, such as "We saw the film" and "I went to the park." They are also tasked with rewriting sentences to adhere to Standard English norms, like changing "He gone to school today" to "He went to school today." The quiz covers various aspects of verb tenses and the appropriate use of Standard English in different contexts. It concludes with a true or false question about the use of Standard English, emphasizing that it is used for formal writing, especially when the audience is not personally known to the writer.
