TuitionGoWhere Exam Practice (AI) — SA2 Grammar Practice Answer Key (Version 2)

Subject: English
Level: Primary 3
Paper: SA2 Grammar Practice (Version 2 of 5)
Total Marks: 40

Marking Scheme: Each question = 2 marks. Section A: 12 × 2 = 24. Section B: 4 × 2 = 8. Section C: 4 × 2 = 8. Total = 40.

Section A Answers (1–12)

(2) flies [2]
Teaching note: "Flock" is a collective noun treated as singular in P3; singular subject takes singular verb "flies". Common mistake: using "fly" for plural.
(3) went [2]
Teaching note: "Yesterday" shows past time; past tense of "go" is "went". Compound subject "brother and I" is plural but past tense form is same.
(4) was doing [2]
Teaching note: Past continuous "was doing" shows action in progress when phone rang (past simple). P3 intro to continuous tenses.
(1) will [2]
Teaching note: "Next Sunday" is future; "will" + base verb for simple future.
(3) under [2]
Teaching note: Spatial preposition; cat hidden below table → "under". "In/on/at" wrong location.
(2) wash [2]
Teaching note: Modal "should" + base verb (no -s). Mistake: adding -es after modal.
(3) yours [2]
Teaching note: Possessive pronoun replaces noun; "yours" = your book. "Your" is adjective, "you" subject, "yourself" reflexive.
(2) himself [2]
Teaching note: Reflexive pronoun for male subject doing action to self; "hurt himself".
(3) happily [2]
Teaching note: Adverb modifies verb "played"; add -ly to "happy". Word form transformation.
(2) tired [2]
Teaching note: Adjective describes dog's state; "tired" not "tire" (noun) or "tiring" (thing causing tiredness).
(1) before [2]
Teaching note: Conjunction of time; watered prior to sunset → "before".
(3) All [2]
Teaching note: "All" with plural verb "finished"; "everyone/each" take singular. P3 subject-verb agreement with indefinite pronouns.

Section B Answers (13–16)

children [2]
Reason: Verb "are" plural → subject must be "children" (plural of child). Mark: 1 for plural choice, 1 for correct spelling.
writes [2]
Reason: "He" singular third-person present → verb +s. 1 mark form, 1 mark spelling.
into [2]
Reason: Movement from outside to inside drain → "into". "onto" = on surface. 1 mark prep choice, 1 context.
She [2]
Reason: Subject pronoun before verb "bought"; "Her" is object. 1 mark case, 1 usage.

Section C Answers (17–20)

I [2]
Note: "my family and I" subject pronoun correct.
which (or that) [2]
Note: Relative pronoun for thing (monkey). 1 for pronoun, 1 for clause logic.
because (or and) [2]
Note: Shows reason/friendliness; "because" links cause. Accept "and" for sequence at P3.
We [2]
Note: Pronoun refers to family + speaker; subject of sentence.
