This week’s grammar focus is:

expanded noun phrases and appositives

During our author unit, we have learnt about expanded noun phrases and appositives. Apply your learning to these sentences.

Expanded noun phrases:

- Choose 2 adjectives that are appropriate and place before the noun (object, person or place)

- Place a comma between the adjectives- Add extra detail using ‘with’ if you can- Example: The big, bustling city with the grand buildings, was a

very different landscape to his home town._______________________________________________________________

Appositives:

- Explain the noun in more detail by using an appositive.- An appositive gives more detail about the noun- Example: The wonderful bird, a beautiful, colourful parrot,

squawked happily whilst sitting on a perch above their heads.
