Free Years 3–4 grammar practice — recognise fronted adverbials and punctuate them with commas. No account needed.
Recognise selected fronted adverbials of time, place and manner, identify what each tells the reader, and choose correct comma placement in supplied sentences. The default practice mode is untimed, so the learner can think before choosing. Correct answers build a gentle celebration; mistakes receive corrective feedback and return later rather than causing a penalty spiral.
Learning objective: Recognise fronted adverbials and use a comma after a supplied fronted adverbial.
Curriculum anchor: England English: Years 3–4 programme; Appendix 2 introduces fronted adverbials and following commas in Year 4.
This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.
Move one supplied adverbial to the front of a new sentence and read the result aloud. The game covers selected forms and does not assess independent composition. Stop while attention is still good. A short accurate return tomorrow is more useful than extending a tired session today.
Does it need an account? No. The game runs in the browser and asks for no name, email address, school or location.
Is it timed? Practice is untimed. Where a sprint exists it is optional. Times Tables Sprint also includes MTC-style independent practice, not an expected-standard judgement.
Can it be used on a phone? Yes. Buttons support touch and keyboard use; sorting always has a tap alternative to dragging.
