A lot of the test papers you can buy have a significant no. of questions such as 'Which word in line 12 is the adverb?' or 'The quote '......'(line 16) is an example of a simile, personification etc.' Or is it more likely to be contextual ques?

These things are now all part of SPAG which is part of Sats so your student will have been taught it. DG
