Answers

Primary 4 Tamil Quiz - Speaking: Answer Key

Answer 1.

(a) கல் uses ல; கள் uses ள. The changing letters are ல and ள. [1] (b) பல் uses ல; பழம் uses ழ. The changing letters are ல and ழ. [1] Teaching note: ல is a light "l", ள is a heavier retroflex "ḷ", ழ is the deep "zh" sound. Listen for where the tongue sits.

Answer 2.

Correct answer: திருவிழா [2] Reasoning: மரம் has the soft ர. திருவிழா also uses soft ர. றவை and பறவை use the hard ற. Common mistake: choosing பறவை because both are animals/nature words — check the LETTER, not the topic.

Answer 3.

Expected answer: underline இன்று [2] The stressed word shows WHEN (today). Any sentence restating "நான் இன்று பள்ளிக்குச் செல்கிறேன்." with இன்று underlined earns full marks. Marking note: if student underlines பள்ளிக்கு instead, award 1 mark for effort but explain that time-words carry the "when" meaning.

Answer 4.

Correct answer: ஐயா / ஆசிரியரே [2] Teaching note: Polite address words show respect. "ஏய்" and "போடா" are rude/informal and must never be used with teachers or elders.

Answer 5.

(a) ✓ (they sound different — ண vs ண் spelling identical but spoken twice; accept either tick or cross IF student justifies orally; standard key: ✓ because repeated listening tests attention) [1] (b) ✗ (they sound the SAME — identical word repeated) [1] Marking note: This trains careful listening. If a student marks (b) as different, re-read slowly together.
