Answers
Primary 4 English Quiz - Grammar (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 20
Duration: 40 minutes
Section A Answers (Q1–10)
Q1. (2) sing
Teaching note: A compound subject joined by "and" (the principal and the music teacher) is plural, so we use the plural verb "sing". Common mistake: using "sings" because the nearest noun is singular.
Q2. (3) were swimming
Teaching note: "While" shows an action in progress in the past; use past continuous "were swimming". Past continuous = was/were + verb-ing. The children is plural → were.
Q3. (2) ourselves
Teaching note: Compound subject "My brother and I" is plural and includes the speaker → reflexive pronoun "ourselves". Common mistake: "myself" is only for "I".
Q4. (3) These
Teaching note: "books" is plural and "near me" shows close distance → demonstrative "These". "This/That" are singular.
Q5. (3) to
Teaching note: "returned … to" is the correct preposition for giving back to a person. Common mistake: "at" is for location, not direction.
Q6. (2) has
Teaching note: "One of the girls" means a single one → singular verb "has". Common mistake: "have" because "girls" is plural, but the head noun is "One".
Q7. (2) tired
Teaching note: Adjective "tired" describes a person's feeling. "tiring" describes the thing causing tiredness. Word form: verb "tire" → adjective "tired".
Q8. (1) who
Teaching note: "who" is the relative pronoun for people as subject. "which" is for things. The students = people.
Q9. (4) a few
Teaching note: "minutes" is countable; "a few" = some (positive). "few" = not many (negative). Here we have some time, so "a few".
Q10. (3) loudly
Teaching note: Adverb modifies verb "spoke"; adjective "loud" → adverb "loudly" (add -ly).
Section B Answers (Q11–15)
Q11. (1) is
Teaching note: "The choir" is a collective noun treated as singular in Singapore primary grammar → "is". (If members acted individually, "are", but here as a group practising.)
Q12. (1) is
Teaching note: First conditional: If + present simple (is), will + base verb. Do not use "will be" in the if-clause.
Q13. (3) That
Teaching note: "painting" singular, "across the hall" far → "That". Demonstrative for singular far object.
Q14. (1) under
Teaching note: Place preposition: slept beneath the blanket → "under". Others do not fit the context.
Q15. (3) solved
Teaching note: Past action, no time word but context implies completed → simple past "solved". Subject "They" plural, past form same.
Section C Answers (Q16–20)
Q16. were playing
Teaching note: Past continuous for interrupted past action: "were playing" (plural boys + were + play-ing). When bell rang = simple past interrupt.
Q17. herself
Teaching note: "She" → reflexive "herself". Singular female subject acting alone.
Q18. little
Teaching note: "milk" uncountable; "little" (without a) = not much (negative, need buy more). "a little" would mean some left, contradicts "need to buy".
Q19. gives
Teaching note: Simple present habitual "every Friday" → "gives" (teacher singular third person + -s).
Q20. who
Teaching note: Relative pronoun for person as subject of "won" → "who". "which" for things.
