Use subordinate clauses and fronted adverbials......

This is a note on my child's homework....at age 8 yrs.

I had to google it, so how is a child meant to understand it.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Hopefully they will have been taught what they are.

However, me? Not a clue.

No wonder children are no longer playful innocent little people if they have to get their heads around this stuff.

They learn it because they can, we've forgotten it because we don't need to understand how we speak & write any more

Merton

i.e John sits at the front row "because" he was curious.

2 independent sentences connected above with a subordinate conjunction, because.

I know subordinate words unite clauses together like: because, also, although etc.

English is sort of my 1/2 language too.

Sounds like a right snotty cow! I'd send an equally uptight message back.

Surely a subordinate clause is when Mrs Claus takes on the domme role

Before you do that you need some context.

(There's a subordinate clause right there )

I went to college and had to do English L3 and none of that was part of it in 2014, son comes home with homework 2 years later and they're on it, I'm sure they just invent stuff for the sake of it. Like I say to people why do we need a word for a word, it's not like you ever use the word other than in an English exam or teaching it.

You mean:

Surely, it's the parents' fault.

It's how you learn to construct sentences. We don't need it now as it's been ingrained , hopefully, but in class it's how they learn.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

Heaven forbid that teachers should challenge children as a development tool

My neices just about learnt their times tables by the time they left primary school, whereas my entire class all had it down in the first year of primary school. And my parents were actually impressed when I came home knowing words they had to go and look up. So to the teacher trying to stretch their pupils - I wish there were more like that.

Just about sums up the difficulty teachers face, and low expectations of some. A child is being taught English and challenged. Your response is sending an abusive message to the "snooty cow" for doing her job.

Sigh...I despair.

This is why l am going to home school. My mum's family did it a lot. Both her parents passed the 11+ and went to grammar school as a result.
