Sentence Openers
Let's explore sentence openers in this KS2 English quiz! Starting sentences with different words makes your writing more exciting. Imagine if every sentence was the same: 'The day was rainy. The cat stayed indoors. The children were bored. The telephone rang...' Boring, right? To keep it interesting, writers use lots of different ways to begin their sentences.
Always read through your work before handing it in. That way, you can change words if you've used the same one too much.
Test your sentence opener skills with this cool English quiz!
