SPAG Question !

[Pandasarecute]

"Finn plays cricket with a boy who plays for England."

Is who a possessive adjective , a determiner, a noun or a relative pronoun?

DD thinks possessive adjective, I am veering towards relative pronoun. Please help !!

Relative pronoun.
If you used it in a separate clause it’d be a relative clause.
The boy, who plays for England, plays cricket with Finn.

Thanks Flurgle!

I have a couple more queries if you, or anyone else, can help please!

Please help! I have A level English but this SATS revision is hard ...

Until is a preposition if followed my a noun / pronoun.

High flying trapeze artist is a noun phrase

Try looking at some revision websites e.g. grammarsaurus.co.uk/portal/category/spag/grammar/
www.theschoolrun.com/primary-grammar-glossary-for-parents

That can help you with definitions.

‘His’ is a determiner in that context.
‘High-flying trapeze artist’ is a noun phrase.
The ‘until’ question is the other way around - prep, prep, sub co.

I am a secondary English teacher and I came on to say that this is all bollocks!! What a stupid set of hoops the kids have to jump through. They don't even need any of this at secondary anyway so what's the bloody point?

Sorry. As you were

Thank you all for the explanations! I'm also so glad to hear that they don't need this at secondary... I'm coping much better with the maths

It’s true they don’t need most of it at secondary and some of it is pointless- but some is useful and most of the grammar isn’t that hard - these were particularly thorny questions.
