Grade 6-11 Resources

Grade 8 English

Grade 8 is where the passive voice is introduced. The syllabus sets it in the simple present, simple past and simple future across Terms 2 and 3, alongside the past perfect. Get these right here and Grades 9 and 10 become much easier.

Grade 8 grammar practice

The past perfect tense, the passive voice in the simple tenses, and reflexive pronouns. These follow competency levels 6.1 and 6.2.
