2. Making sense!
• The words of a sentence must be in the
correct order to make sure that the sentence
makes sense.
Ex. Running dog was the.
->

3. Same meaning
• The words of a sentence can be put in a
different order without losing its meaning.
Ex. On Tuesday James went to the shops.
->
Change of word order BUT same meaning!

4. Different meaning
• Changing the word order of a sentence can
give it a different meaning.
Ex. You can help me.
Can you help me?
-> in this case changing the word order turned
the first sentence into a question and then of
course the punctuation also has to be
changed.

6. Practising!

- My brother is the world’s best hairdresser.

7. Practising!
• Put the words in a different order, so that the

8. The competition will go as followed:
Each pupil has to complete ALL the exercises!!
There are different types of exercises in each ‘corner’.
It doesn’t matter in which corner you start, because you will get 5 min to make the
exercise in that corner and after I’ve given a signal you will move over to the next
