Answers

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - English Primary 3 (Answer Key)

Subject: English
Level: Primary 3
Paper: Practice Paper 2 (Version 2 of 5)
Total Marks: 50

SECTION A: GRAMMAR MCQ (10 marks)

1. (3) went

Explanation: The phrase "Last weekend" indicates past tense. "Went" is the past tense of "go".
Mark: 1

2. (3) has been

Explanation: "The box of chocolates" is a singular subject (the main noun is "box"). "Since this morning" indicates an action that started in the past and continues to the present, requiring present perfect tense "has been".
Mark: 1

3. (2) on

Explanation: Books are placed on a shelf (a surface). "In" would be for enclosed spaces, "at" for specific locations, "under" means beneath.
Mark: 1

4. (2) are

Explanation: With "Neither... nor...", the verb agrees with the subject closest to it ("brothers" - plural). Therefore, the plural verb "are" is correct.
Mark: 1

5. (2) bakes

Explanation: "My grandmother" is a singular third-person subject. The sentence describes a habitual action ("every Chinese New Year"), so simple present tense "bakes" is used.
Mark: 1

6. (3) about

Explanation: The adjective "excited" is followed by the preposition "about" when referring to an event or thing (excited about the trip).
Mark: 1

7. (4) were

Explanation: "Many people" is a plural subject. "Last year" indicates past tense. The past tense plural verb is "were".
Mark: 1

8. (1) must

Explanation: "Must" expresses strong obligation or prohibition (must not = prohibition). This is a safety rule, so "must not" is appropriate. "Should" is advice, "could" is possibility, "would" is conditional.
Mark: 1

9. (2) Each

Explanation: "Each of the pupils" takes a singular verb ("has"). "Every" cannot be used with "of". "All" and "Both" take plural verbs.
Mark: 1

10. (3) had left

Explanation: The sentence describes two past actions. The train leaving happened before "we reached the station". The earlier past action uses past perfect tense "had left".
Mark: 1

SECTION B: VOCABULARY MCQ (5 marks)

11. (3) crowded

Explanation: Hawker centres at lunchtime are typically full of people. "Crowded" means filled with many people.
Mark: 1

12. (2) scattered

Explanation: "Scattered" means thrown in various directions messily. This fits the context of toys all over the floor making Mother unhappy.
Mark: 1

13. (1) pulled

Explanation: Magicians "pull" rabbits out of hats. This is the standard collocation for this magic trick.
Mark: 1

14. (2) windy

Explanation: Kites need wind to fly. Marina Barrage is a popular kite-flying spot in Singapore. "Windy" is the only weather condition suitable for kite-flying.
Mark: 1

15. (3) slowly

Explanation: An old man with a walking stick would walk "slowly". The other options imply speed.
Mark: 1

SECTION C: GRAMMAR CLOZE (8 marks)

Passage 1 (Prepositions)

16. (B) in

Explanation: "In the morning" / "at 9 a.m." — Wait, the blank is before "9 a.m." The correct preposition for specific clock times is "at". However, looking at the options: (A) at, (B) in, (C) on, (D) under, (E) beside, (F) between. The correct answer is (A) at for specific times.
Correction: The answer is (A) at.
Mark: 1

17. (B) in

Explanation: "In the sky" is the correct prepositional phrase for things appearing in the sky.
Mark: 1

18. (E) beside

Explanation: A mat is set up beside (next to) a tree. "Under" would be directly beneath, but "beside" fits the context of a picnic setup better.
Mark: 1

19. (F) between

Explanation: The sandcastle is located between two landmarks: the sea and the playground. "Between" is used for two reference points.
Mark: 1

Passage 2 (Subject-Verb Agreement / Tenses)

20. (A) is

Explanation: "There is a new library" — singular subject "a new library" follows "There is". Present tense for current existence.
Mark: 1

21. (C) was

Explanation: "It was opened last month" — passive voice in past tense. "Last month" indicates past.
Mark: 1

22. (B) are

Explanation: "Many books" is a plural subject. Present tense "are" for current state.
Mark: 1

23. (F) have

Explanation: "My friends and I" = "We" (plural first person). Present perfect "have been going" or present continuous "are going" — but "have" is the only plural auxiliary that fits with "going" to form present perfect continuous "have been going" (though "been" is missing). Actually, looking at the options: (A) is, (B) are, (C) was, (D) were, (E) has, (F) have. The sentence reads "My friends and I (23) ________ going there this weekend." The correct form is "are going" (present continuous for future arrangement). So (B) are.
Correction: The answer is (B) are.
Mark: 1

SECTION D: EDITING FOR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR (6 marks)

24. buys

Explanation: "My mother" is third person singular. Habitual action ("every morning") requires simple present tense with -s: "buys".
Mark: 1

25. children

Explanation: "Children" is already the plural form of "child". It does not take an -s. "Childrens" is incorrect.
Mark: 1

26. went

Explanation: "Goed" is not a word. The past tense of "go" is the irregular verb "went". "Last Sunday" indicates past tense.
Mark: 1

27. are

Explanation: "Many cars" is a plural subject. The verb must be plural "are", not singular "is".
Mark: 1

28. taught

Explanation: "Teached" is incorrect. The past tense of "teach" is the irregular verb "taught". "When I was young" indicates past tense.
Mark: 1

29. mice

Explanation: "Mouses" is incorrect. The plural of "mouse" (animal) is the irregular plural "mice".
Mark: 1

SECTION E: SYNTHESIS AND TRANSFORMATION (4 marks)

SECTION F: COMPREHENSION CLOZE (5 marks)

Mark: 1

35. like / love / prefer

Explanation: People enjoy eating prata with curry. "Like" fits the context of preference.

36. has / had

Explanation: "By noon" indicates a deadline in the past. "Has sold" (present perfect) or "had sold" (past perfect) both work depending on narrative tense. The passage uses present tense ("wakes", "flips", "watch"), so "has sold" maintains consistency.
Mark: 1
