Answers

Answer Key and Marking Scheme - Primary 3 English (WA2)

Total Marks: 20
Subject: English Language
Level: Primary 3

Section A: Grammar and Vocabulary (Multiple Choice)

1. Answer: (1) is

Reasoning: The subject is "The group," which is a collective noun treated as singular in this context (acting as one unit). Therefore, the singular verb "is" is correct.
Common Mistake: Choosing "are" because "tourists" is plural. However, the head noun is "group."

2. Answer: (1) go

Reasoning: When using "Neither... nor...", the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. Here, "his brothers" is plural, so the plural verb "go" is used.
Common Mistake: Choosing "goes" because "Ali" is singular. The proximity rule applies here.

3. Answer: (3) are flying

Reasoning: The word "Look!" indicates an action happening right now (Present Continuous Tense). The structure is am/is/are + verb-ing.
Common Mistake: Choosing "fly" (Simple Present) which is for habits, not current actions.

4. Answer: (3) baked

Reasoning: The time phrase "last week" indicates the Past Simple Tense. The past tense of "bake" is "baked."
Common Mistake: Choosing "bakes" (Present) or "baking" (incomplete verb form).

5. Answer: (2) for

Reasoning: We use "for" with a period of time (ten years). We use "since" with a specific starting point (e.g., since 2014).
Common Mistake: Confusing "for" and "since."

6. Answer: (1) off

Reasoning: The context "knocked over the vase" implies movement away from the surface of the table. "Jumped off" means moving from on top to down.
Common Mistake: Choosing "on" which would mean landing on the table, but "off" fits the consequence of knocking something over better if it was already there, or jumping down from it. Note: If the cat jumped ON the table, it might knock it over, but "off" is a common preposition tested with movement. Given the options, "off" implies the cat was on the table and jumped down, potentially hitting the vase on the way or the vase was on the edge. However, "onto" is not an option. "Off" is the best fit for directional prepositions in P3.

7. Answer: (3) must

Reasoning: "Must" expresses obligation or necessity. The sentence implies a rule: homework first, then play.
Common Mistake: Choosing "can" which expresses ability or permission, not obligation.

8. Answer: (2) an

Reasoning: The word "apple" begins with a vowel sound. We use the article "an" before vowel sounds.
Common Mistake: Using "a" before a vowel sound.

9. Answer: (1) about

Reasoning: The adjective "excited" is typically followed by the preposition "about" when referring to the cause of excitement.
Common Mistake: Using "for" or "with."

10. Answer: (2) Both

Reasoning: "Both" is used to refer to two people or things together. "All" is for three or more. "Each" is singular.
Common Mistake: Using "All" for two items.

11. Answer: (2) rains

Reasoning: This is a First Conditional sentence (Real possibility). The structure is If + Present Simple, will + base verb. Since "it" is singular, we use "rains."
Common Mistake: Using "rain" (plural verb) or "will rain" in the if-clause.

12. Answer: (3) better

Reasoning: The word "than" indicates a comparison. The comparative form of "well" (adverb) is "better."
Common Mistake: Using "good" (adjective) or "best" (superlative).

13. Answer: (1) open

Reasoning: After "to" (infinitive marker), we use the base form of the verb.
Common Mistake: Using "opened" (past) or "opening" (continuous).

14. Answer: (3) swarm

Reasoning: The collective noun for bees is a "swarm."
- Flock: birds/sheep
- Herd: cattle/elephants
- Pack: dogs/wolves
Common Mistake: Using "flock" or "herd."

15. Answer: (3) has gone

Reasoning: The present perfect tense "has gone" indicates that he went to the canteen and is still there (or the result is relevant now). "Went" would imply he went and possibly returned, but "has gone" is the standard response to "Where is he?" when he is not here.
Common Mistake: Using "goes" (habit) or "went" (simple past without connection to present location).

Section B: Grammar Application (Cloze Passage)

16. Answer: (2) left

Reasoning: The story is narrated in the past tense ("went," "was"). Therefore, the verb must be in the past tense. "Left" is the past tense of "leave."
Teaching Note: Check the surrounding verbs for tense consistency.

17. Answer: (2) surprised

Reasoning: The sentence describes a past event ("turned," "saw"). The verb must be in the past tense. "Surprised" is the past tense verb meaning to cause someone to feel surprise.
Teaching Note: "Surprise" is the base form, "surprised" is past/adjective. Here it acts as the main verb.

18. Answer: (1) to

Reasoning: The phrase "from branch to branch" is a fixed expression indicating movement between multiple items of the same type.
Teaching Note: Remember the pattern "from [noun] to [noun]."

19. Answer: (1) for

Reasoning: When buying something with the intention of giving it to someone, we use "for." (e.g., a gift for someone).
Teaching Note: "To" is used for direction or transfer (give to), but "bought for" indicates the beneficiary.

20. Answer: (1) again

Reasoning: "Again" means one more time. The speaker enjoyed the trip and wants to repeat it.
Teaching Note: "Too" and "also" mean "in addition," which doesn't fit the context of repeating an action in the future as well as "again" does.
