Keywords
Noun - a naming word for people, places or things
Adjective - a word that describes a noun
Synonym - a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word
Word pair - words that often appear together
Suffix - a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word
Common misconception
Pupils might get confused with the adjective 'suffocating' and the verb 'suffocate'.
You could include a sentence where you have used a verb from the infinitive 'to suffocate' and discuss what word class this is and why.
Teacher tip
Ensure pupils understand that - whilst 'suffocating' and 'relentless' can be used to describe heat - they can also be used in other contexts so they are very useful words.
