Answers
Primary 1 English Quiz — Grammar: Answer Key
Topic Focus: Grammar Total Marks: 30
Section A: Nouns — People, Animals, and Things (Questions 1–5)
1. C) teacher (1 mark)
- Explanation: A noun is a naming word. "Teacher" names a person. "Run" is a verb (action), "happy" is an adjective (describing word), and "quickly" is an adverb.
- Common mistake: Students may pick "run" because it is a familiar word, but it describes an action, not a person/place/thing.
2. B) cat (1 mark)
- Explanation: "Cat" is a noun that names an animal. "Jump" is a verb, "small" is an adjective, and "red" is an adjective.
3. C) book (1 mark)
- Explanation: "Book" is a noun that names a thing. "Eat" is a verb, "soft" is an adjective, and "slowly" is an adverb.
4. dog (1 mark)
- Explanation: The noun in the sentence is "dog" — it names the animal (a thing). "The" is an article, "is" is a verb, and "sleeping" is a verb (action).
- Marking note: Award 1 mark for underlining "dog" only. Do not award the mark if "the dog" is underlined, as "the" is not a noun.
5. Accept any reasonable noun (a thing). (1 mark)
- Examples: bag, box, desk, case, cupboard, pocket, basket
- Explanation: The student must write a noun (a thing) that makes sense in the sentence. The pencil goes inside a container or place.
- Marking note: Award 1 mark for any sensible noun. Do not penalise minor spelling errors if the intended word is clear.
Section B: Pronouns — I, You, He, She, It (Questions 6–10)
6. C) I (1 mark)
- Explanation: "I" is used when talking about yourself. "I am six years old" is correct. "She" and "He" are used for other people. "We" is used for a group including yourself.
7. B) She (1 mark)
- Explanation: "She" is used to refer to a female person. Mother is female, so "She is my mother" is correct.
8. C) It (1 mark)
- Explanation: "It" is used for animals and things when the gender is not specified. Since the sentence says "the cat" (not "my cat is a boy/girl"), "It" is the correct pronoun.
- Common mistake: Some students may choose "He" or "She" if they assume the cat's gender. Accept "He" or "She" only if the question specifies the gender. Here, "It" is the best answer.
9. D) You (1 mark)
- Explanation: "You" is used when speaking to someone. "You are my friend" is correct. "He," "She," and "It" are used when talking about someone, not to them.
10. B) He (1 mark)
- Explanation: "Tom" is a boy's name, so we replace "Tom" with the pronoun "He." "He is kind" is correct.
- Common mistake: Students may choose "She" if they do not know that Tom is typically a boy's name.
Section C: Verbs — Action Words (Questions 11–15)
11. B) swim (1 mark)
- Explanation: A verb is an action word. "Swim" is something you do. "Apple" is a noun, "big" is an adjective, and "table" is a noun.
12. sings (1 mark)
- Explanation: The verb (action word) in the sentence is "sings" — it tells us what the girl is doing. "Girl" is a noun, "a" is an article, and "song" is a noun.
- Marking note: Award 1 mark for underlining "sings" only.
13. B) goes (1 mark)
- Explanation: When we talk about "the boy" (he), we add "-s" to the verb. "The boy goes to school" is correct. This is subject-verb agreement for singular nouns.
- Common mistake: Students may choose "go" because it looks simpler. Remind them that "he/she/it" takes the "-s" form.
14. C) cooked (1 mark)
- Explanation: "Last night" tells us the action happened in the past. The past tense of "cook" is "cooked." "My mother cooked dinner last night" is correct.
- Common mistake: Students may choose "cooks" because they see "mother" and think present tense. The time word "last night" is the clue.
15. B) The bird flies in the sky. (1 mark)
- Explanation: "Bird" is singular (one bird), so the verb needs "-s": "flies." Option A is missing "-s." Option C is missing a helping verb ("is flying"). Option D uses "flied," which is not a correct word (the past tense of "fly" is "flew").
- Marking note: This question tests subject-verb agreement and correct verb form.
Section D: Simple Sentences and Punctuation (Questions 16–20)
16. ? (Question mark) (2 marks)
- Explanation: The sentence "Where is my bag" is asking a question. Questions end with a question mark (?), not a full stop (.) or exclamation mark (!).
- Marking note: Award 2 marks for the correct question mark. Award 1 mark if the student writes a full stop (partial understanding that punctuation is needed).
17. The sun is hot. (2 marks)
- Explanation: Every sentence must begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop. "the" becomes "The" (capital T), and a full stop is added at the end.
- Marking note: Award 2 marks for both the capital letter AND the full stop. Award 1 mark if only one correction is made.
18. My name is Ali. (2 marks)
- Explanation: The correct order is: subject (My name) + verb (is) + complement (Ali). The sentence must also begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop.
- Marking note: Award 2 marks for the correct word order with capital letter and full stop. Award 1 mark for correct word order but missing capital letter or full stop.
19. an (2 marks)
- Explanation: We use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u). "Elephant" starts with the vowel sound /e/, so we use "an elephant." We use "a" before consonant sounds (a book, a cat).
- Common mistake: Students may write "a" because they have not yet learned the a/an rule. This is a P1-appropriate introduction to the concept.
- Marking note: Award 2 marks for "an." Award 0 marks for "a" or "the."
20. Accept any complete, sensible sentence with at least 5 words. (2 marks)
- Example answers:
- "The girl is reading a book." (6 words)
- "A girl reads her new book." (6 words)
- "The girl likes reading her book." (6 words)
- Marking criteria:
- 2 marks: Sentence has 5 or more words, begins with a capital letter, ends with a full stop, and makes sense (describes the picture).
- 1 mark: Sentence has fewer than 5 words OR is missing capital letter/full stop, but still makes sense.
- 0 marks: Sentence does not make sense, is not about the picture, or is left blank.
- Common mistake: Students may write "girl read book" (missing articles, verb endings, and punctuation). Award 1 mark if the meaning is clear but grammar is incomplete.
