Y2 English: Learning about Command Sentences

23rd Nov 2020

This week our Y2 pupils are being taught all about 'command sentences'. 

Commands are a type of sentence in which someone is being told to do something. There are three other sentence types: questions, exclamations and statements.

Command sentences usually, but not always, start with an imperative (or 'bossy') verb which tells someone to do something.

The teaching of commands should come after children have been taught and can identify the following word classes: noun, verb, adjective and adverb. Once they know these, they can begin work on commands and the use of imperative verbs.

This is a helpful link to support you talk to your child about command sentences.
