SATs grammar practice for KS1 and KS2
Verb tenses, clauses, and word classes — KS1 and KS2 grammar explained in plain language, with Year 6 SATs context where useful.
Kidfriendly supports grammar practice across KS1 and KS2. In SATs materials, grammar questions ask children to identify and use grammatical features such as verb tenses, word classes, sentence types, and clauses.
The terminology can feel unfamiliar to parents (subordinating conjunctions, determiners, modal verbs), but the underlying concepts are straightforward once you see them in context. Children do not need to write essays about grammar — they need to recognise patterns and apply rules accurately.
Our grammar guides explain each topic in plain language with examples pitched at the right level, so you can support your child even if you have not studied grammar formally.
- Plain-language explanations of the grammar terms children need to know
- Worked examples showing how each concept appears in real SATs questions
