Year 5 complex sentence worksheets – -ed and -ing clause SPaG lesson
This Year 5 SPaG lesson pack helps pupils create and punctuate complex sentences using -ed and -ing clauses to add detail and variety in both fiction and non-fiction writing. Children learn how to use these clauses at different points in a sentence and practise using them effectively in their own writing.
The Year 5 SPaG PowerPoint breaks down what -ed and -ing clauses look like, gives examples of them in context, and supports guided practice. It also recaps key punctuation rules.
Follow up with two levels of differentiated Year 5 complex sentence worksheets, where pupils identify, improve and write sentences using both types of clauses.
This SPaG lesson pack includes:
- Year 5 SPaG PowerPoint on using -ed and -ing clauses
- Two differentiated Year 5 complex sentence worksheets
- Answer sheets for both worksheet levels
Every resource includes the small step at the top to support assessment. Year group labels are not shown on the materials so they’re suitable for revision or booster groups in different year groups.
