Year 4 – Autumn Block 1 – Ready to Write Expanding Sentences using Prepositions
Notes and Guidance:
• This step will focus on expanding the clause by using a range of prepositions such as before, after, during, in
and because of.
• At this point, children should only use prepositions to modify verbs not nouns (this is covered in Year 4 Spring
Block 3).
Focused Questions
• Which word is the preposition in this sentence?
• What other prepositions could you use instead?
• What prepositions would not make sense?
What is a preposition?
Prepositions tell us where something is:
beside under on against
beneath over between
Or when something is happening:
until during after following
since before
