TuitionGoWhere Exam Practice (AI) - Answer Key

Subject: English Language Level: Primary 3 Paper: WA2 Practice Paper (Version 3 of 5)

SECTION A: Grammar and Vocabulary (20 marks)

Questions 1-5: Subject-Verb Agreement

  1. (1) is

    • Reasoning: "The group" is a collective noun treated as a singular unit in this context. Therefore, it takes the singular verb "is".
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "are" because "tourists" is plural. The subject is "group", not "tourists".

  2. (3) were

    • Reasoning: When using "neither... nor...", the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. "Students" is plural, so the verb must be plural ("were").
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "was" or "is" because "teacher" is singular.

  3. (2) goes

    • Reasoning: The phrase "along with his friends" is a parenthetical phrase and does not change the number of the subject. The main subject is "My brother" (singular), so the verb is singular ("goes").
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "go" because of the plural "friends".

  4. (2) has

    • Reasoning: "Each" is always singular. Therefore, it takes the singular verb "has".
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "have" because "participants" is plural.

  5. (3) are

    • Reasoning: "The police" is a plural noun in English. It always takes a plural verb ("are").
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "is" because it looks like a singular collective noun.

Questions 6-10: Prepositions

  1. (2) onto

    • Reasoning: "Onto" indicates movement to a position on a surface. The cat moved from off the table to on the table.
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "on", which indicates static position, not movement.

  2. (2) for

    • Reasoning: "For" is used with a period of time (ten years). "Since" is used with a specific point in time (e.g., since 2014).
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "since".

  3. (1) at

    • Reasoning: The correct collocation is "good at" something.
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "in" or "with".

  4. (2) on

    • Reasoning: Books are placed "on" a shelf (surface).
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "in".

  5. (3) at

    • Reasoning: We use "at" for specific points or locations like airports, stations, and stops.
    • Common Mistake: Choosing "in" or "to".

Questions 11-15: Verb Tenses

  1. are flying

    • Reasoning: The word "Look!" indicates an action happening right now (Present Continuous).
    • Marking: 1 mark for "are flying".

  2. had started

    • Reasoning: The action of the movie starting happened before another past action (reaching the cinema). This requires the Past Perfect tense.
    • Marking: 1 mark for "had started".

  3. rains

    • Reasoning: This is a First Conditional sentence (real possibility in the future). The 'if' clause uses the Simple Present tense.
    • Marking: 1 mark for "rains".

  4. has read

    • Reasoning: The phrase "since the beginning of the month" indicates an action that started in the past and continues to the present or has relevance to the present. This requires the Present Perfect tense.
    • Marking: 1 mark for "has read".

  5. rises

    • Reasoning: This is a general truth/fact. General truths use the Simple Present tense.
    • Marking: 1 mark for "rises".

SECTION B: Grammar Application (20 marks)

Question 16: Relative Clauses

  • Answer: The man who is wearing a blue shirt is my uncle.
    • Alternative: The man, who is wearing a blue shirt, is my uncle.
  • Reasoning: "Who" is used for people. The relative clause describes "the man".
  • Marking:
    • 1 mark for correct relative pronoun ("who").
    • 1 mark for correct sentence structure and punctuation.

Question 17: Passive Voice

  • Answer: A delicious meal was cooked by the chef.
  • Reasoning:
    • Object of active sentence ("a delicious meal") becomes the subject.
    • Verb changes to "be" + past participle ("was cooked").
    • Subject of active sentence ("the chef") becomes the agent ("by the chef").
  • Marking:
    • 1 mark for correct verb form ("was cooked").
    • 1 mark for correct structure including "by the chef".

Question 18: Indirect Speech

  • Answer: Tom said that he was going to the library.
  • Reasoning:
    • Reporting verb "said" is in the past, so the tense in the reported speech shifts back (Present Continuous "am going" becomes Past Continuous "was going").
    • Pronoun "I" changes to "he" (referring to Tom).
  • Marking:
    • 1 mark for correct pronoun change ("he").
    • 1 mark for correct tense shift ("was going").

Question 19: Sentence Transformation (so... that)

  • Answer: The test was so difficult that the students could not do it.
    • Alternative: The test was so difficult that the students failed.
  • Reasoning: The structure "too... for" implies a negative result. When using "so... that", we must explicitly state the result. "Too difficult for the students" means they could not succeed.
  • Marking:
    • 1 mark for using "so... that" structure correctly.
    • 1 mark for maintaining the original meaning (negative outcome for students).

Question 20: Error Correction

  • Answer: She doesn't like eating vegetables.
  • Reasoning: The subject "She" is third-person singular. In the Simple Present tense negative, we use "does not" (doesn't), not "do not" (don't).
  • Marking:
    • 2 marks for the correct sentence. (1 mark for identifying the error, 1 mark for the correction).
