Modal Verbs - Degrees of Possibility Quiz

A KS2 Grammar Quiz, specifically tailored for Year 5 pupils, is designed to test and reinforce their understanding of modal verbs and their usage to indicate degrees of possibility. The quiz consists of 10 questions, each followed by an answer slide, and is intended as a retrieval practice tool after teaching modal verbs. It can also be utilised to assess pupil knowledge prior to teaching or as a starter activity to engage students. The quiz covers the identification of modal verbs, their application in sentences, and the creation of conditional statements and questions using modal verbs.

Questions range from defining modal verbs, identifying them in sentences, to applying them in various grammatical constructs. For example, students are asked to add appropriate modal verbs to incomplete sentences and to write sentences that express possibility using given phrases. They must also determine which words in provided sentences are modal verbs and use given modal verbs to write their own questions. Additionally, pupils are challenged to write conditional statements using pairs of modal verbs and to compose sentences that incorporate modal verbs in relation to specific scenarios, such as the destruction of a building or the beginning of an important day. This quiz serves as a comprehensive exercise for enhancing students' grammatical skills related to modal verbs.
