This lesson helps children build on their understanding of what makes a complete sentence by focusing on the two essential parts every sentence must have: a subject and a verb. Through clear examples and step-by-step teaching slides, pupils learn how to spot who or what the sentence is about (the subject) and what that subject is doing or being (the verb). The accompanying task sheet provides practice sentences where children identify both elements, reinforcing accuracy and understanding. This is Lesson 8 in the sequence and is designed to consolidate knowledge from earlier lessons on subjects, verbs and complete sentences, giving pupils the confidence to apply these skills in their own writing.
