TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - English Primary 3 (Answer Key)

Version: 1 of 5
Subject: English
Level: Primary 3
Topic: Grammar
Total Marks: 20

---

Section A: Grammar Multiple-Choice (12 marks)

1. (2) walks
Teaching note: "The boy" is a singular third-person subject, so the verb needs -s in simple present. "walk" is wrong (no -s), "walking" is a participle needing "is", "walked" is past.
Common mistake: Forgetting third-person -s.

2. (3) flew
Teaching note: "Yesterday" shows past time. "fly" is present, "flies" is present third-person, "flying" is participle. "flew" is past of fly.

3. (4) is sitting
Teaching note: "Look!" and "now" show present continuous. Structure: am/is/are + verb-ing. Cat = singular, so "is sitting".

4. (3) will go
Teaching note: "next Sunday" is future. Use "will + base verb". "go" present, "went" past, "going" needs "is".

5. (3) are
Teaching note: "books" is plural, so use "are". "is/am" for singular, "be" base form.

6. (1) in
Teaching note: "put letter in envelope" = inside. "on" = surface, "at" = place/time point, "by" = near/agent.

7. (2) mine
Teaching note: After "is", use possessive pronoun "mine" (means "my gift"). "my" is adjective, "me/I" not possessive.

8. (3) These
Teaching note: "shoes" plural and near = "these". "this/that" singular, "those" far.

9. (2) must
Teaching note: "because good for him" shows obligation → "must". "can" ability, "may/might" possibility.

10. (1) happy
Teaching note: Adjective "happy" describes noun "children". "happily" adverb, "happiness" noun, "unhappy" opposite.

11. (1) Tom said, "I lost my pencil."
Teaching note: Direct speech needs quotation marks and comma before open quote. Capital inside quote.

12. (2) its
Teaching note: "its" = possessive (dog's tail). "it's" = it is, "it" pronoun, "itself" reflexive.

---

Section B: Fill-in-the-Blank (4 marks)

13. go
Note: "girls" plural + every weekend = simple present plural → "go".

14. him
Note: Object of "to" → object pronoun "him" not "he".

15. an
Note: "owl" starts with vowel sound /aʊ/ → "an".

16. are
Note: "brother and I" = plural subject → "are".

---

Section C: Grammar Cloze (4 marks)

17. I
Note: "my family and I" = subject pronoun.

18. around (or "on")
Note: Preposition of movement on/around island. Accept "on" or "around".

19. the
Note: "the children" = specific children seen.

20. It
Note: "It was" = dummy subject for day.
