LC: To create sentences with fronted adverbials that are punctuated accurately.
Fronted adverbials are words or phrases placed at the beginning of a sentence which are used to describe the action that follows.
We will be focusing on fronted adverbials that describe
'when' and 'where' the action takes place.
'When' fronted adverbials
Before sunrise, Zack ate his breakfast.
After the rain stopped, Sophie went outside to play.
'Where' fronted adverbials
Inside the gloomy forest, a loud howl could be heard.
In the attic, I discovered an unusual box with no label.
Have you noticed fronted adverbials are marked with a comma?
