About this resource
Use the pictures and sentence clues to choose leave, leaves or left for each departure situation.
- Picture-supported sentence fragments
- Blanks for leave, leaves, or left
- Present and past departure contexts
Curriculum reference — England: Grammar choices depend on subject and time; retain picture context. Selected noun or past/present/future verb recognition supports Grade1 grammar; compound rewriting demands may need teacher support. Direct use of past/present including progressive forms is the exact Year2 grammar connection; no inference from grade tags. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
