Worksheet Overview

Sometimes we can change the order of words in a sentence without affecting the meaning.

 

Freddie ran after a stick this morning.

This morning Freddie ran after a stick.

 

Phrases (groups of words) describing the time that something takes place can usually be moved around without changing the meaning of a sentence, but if we move the nouns (people, animals or things) around it can change the meaning completely.

A stick ran after Freddie this morning.

 

In this activity, you can investigate what happens when different parts of a sentence are moved around.
