Answer Key (Version 4 of 5)
Subject: English — Grammar
Total Marks: 30
Section A: Multiple Choice (10 marks)
1. (3) play
Explanation: The subject "children" is plural, so the verb must be in the base plural form "play" (simple present tense for plural subjects). "Plays" is for singular subjects; "playing" and "is playing" are continuous forms that do not fit the habitual "every afternoon" context.
[1 mark]
Common mistake: Choosing (1) "plays" — students may overlook that "children" is plural.
2. (3) baked
Explanation: The time reference "last Saturday" signals past tense. "Baked" is the simple past form of "bake."
[1 mark]
Common mistake: Choosing (2) "bakes" — students may default to simple present without noticing the past time marker.
3. (4) were
Explanation: "Books" is plural and "yesterday" indicates past tense, so the correct past plural form of "to be" is "were."
[1 mark]
Common mistake: Choosing (2) "are" — students may match the plural subject but ignore the past time marker "yesterday."
4. (4) go
Explanation: After the modal verb "will," the base form of the verb is required. "Go" is the base form.
[1 mark]
Common mistake: Choosing (1) "goes" — students may apply third-person singular rules incorrectly after "will."
5. (3) under
Explanation: A cat hiding beneath a table uses the preposition "under." "On" means on top of; "between" requires two objects; "in front" is incomplete (should be "in front of").
[1 mark]
6. (3) Each
Explanation: "Each" is used to refer to one from a group, and it fits the context of one winner from two sisters. "Both" would mean two winners; "All" and "Every" are used for three or more.
[1 mark]
Common mistake: Choosing (1) "Both" — students may not notice that only one person won.
7. (2) do
Explanation: "Ahmad and Siti" is a compound plural subject, so the base plural form "do" is correct in simple present tense.
[1 mark]
8. (4) an / a
Explanation: "Apple" begins with a vowel sound, so "an" is used. "Orange" also begins with a vowel sound, so "an" is used. Wait — reviewing: "apple" → "an apple"; "orange" → "an orange." The correct option is (2) an / an.
Correction: (2) an / an
Explanation: Both "apple" and "orange" begin with vowel sounds (/æ/ and /ɒ/), so the indefinite article "an" is required for both.
[1 mark]
Common mistake: Choosing (3) "a / an" or (4) "an / a" — students may be unsure which words start with vowel sounds.
9. (3) were flying
Explanation: "When we looked up just now" describes a specific moment in the past when an action was in progress. The past continuous tense "were flying" is correct.
[1 mark]
Common mistake: Choosing (2) "flew" — students may use simple past instead of past continuous for an ongoing action at a past moment.
10. (2) visits
Explanation: "She" is a third-person singular subject, and "every weekend" indicates a habitual action in simple present tense. The verb takes the -s ending: "visits."
[1 mark]
Section B: Fill in the Blanks (10 marks)
11.
(a) run — "The boys" is a plural subject, so the base form "run" is used in simple present tense.
(b) ran — "Yesterday" signals past tense; "ran" is the simple past form of "run."
[1 mark each, 2 marks total]
12.
(a) are — "Five pencils" is plural, so "are" is the correct present tense form of "to be."
(b) is — "A ruler" is singular, so "is" is the correct present tense form of "to be."
[1 mark each, 2 marks total]
13.
(a) in — Flowers are placed inside a vase, so the preposition "in" is correct.
(b) on — Specific dates use the preposition "on" (e.g., "on 15 March").
[1 mark each, 2 marks total]
Common mistake: Using "at" for dates — "at" is used for times (e.g., "at 3 o'clock"), not dates.
14.
(a) This — "Pair" is singular, so the singular demonstrative "this" is used.
(b) Those — "Shoes" is plural and "near the door" suggests distance, so the plural demonstrative "those" is correct.
[1 mark each, 2 marks total]
15.
(a) has — "Everyone" is an indefinite pronoun treated as singular, so "has" is correct.
(b) knows — "Nobody" is also an indefinite pronoun treated as singular, so "knows" (with -s) is correct.
[1 mark each, 2 marks total]
Common mistake: Using "have" or "know" — students may not recognise that indefinite pronouns like "everyone" and "nobody" are singular.
Section C: Editing and Sentence Correction (10 marks)
16.
Mistake: "chase" — incorrect tense.
Correct sentence: "The dog chased the cat around the garden this morning."
Explanation: "This morning" (when referring to a completed past event) requires simple past tense. "Chased" is the past form of "chase."
[1 mark for identifying mistake, 1 mark for correct sentence, 2 marks total]
17.
Mistake: "don't" — incorrect subject-verb agreement.
Correct sentence: "She doesn't like to eat vegetables."
Explanation: "She" is third-person singular, so the correct negative auxiliary is "doesn't" (does not), not "don't" (do not).
[1 mark for identifying mistake, 1 mark for correct sentence, 2 marks total]
18.
Mistake: "is" — incorrect subject-verb agreement.
Correct sentence: "My friends are going to the swimming pool after school."
Explanation: "Friends" is plural, so the correct form of "to be" is "are," not "is."
[1 mark for identifying mistake, 1 mark for correct sentence, 2 marks total]
19.
Mistake: "have went" — incorrect past participle.
Correct sentence: "I went to the National Museum of Singapore last month."
Explanation: "Last month" requires simple past tense. "Went" is the simple past form of "go." "Have went" is grammatically incorrect; the present perfect would require "have gone," but the past time marker "last month" rules out present perfect entirely.
[1 mark for identifying mistake, 1 mark for correct sentence, 2 marks total]
Common mistake: Writing "have gone" — students may recognise the error but choose present perfect, which is incompatible with "last month."
20.
Mistake: "much" — incorrect quantifier for countable nouns.
Correct sentence: "There were many people at the hawker centre during lunchtime."
Explanation: "People" is a countable noun, so "many" is the correct quantifier. "Much" is used with uncountable nouns (e.g., "much water").
[1 mark for identifying mistake, 1 mark for correct sentence, 2 marks total]
