Commas in Lists

About this worksheet

A lesson recap on commas in lists for Year 2 English, three pages long. Pupils tick the correct version of a packing list sentence, then put the commas back into 'We saw lions tigers monkeys and elephants at the zoo.' Next, they write a party food sentence with four items and check it against three questions. A Brain Check closes the sheet with a self-rating and a question about what was tricky. The key explains that UK punctuation uses no comma before 'and' in a simple list. Covers the England National Curriculum punctuation objective.
