Answer Key — Primary 6 PSLE English SA2 Grammar Practice (Version 4)

Total Marks: 40
Section A: 10 marks | Section B: 10 marks | Section C: 20 marks


Section A: MCQ (1 mark each)

1. (2) boils
Teaching note: Subject "water" is singular, present tense statement of fact → third-person singular verb "boils". Common mistake: using "boil" (plural).

2. (3) had left
Teaching note: Third conditional (past unreal): If + past perfect, would have + past participle. "Had left" is correct.

3. (1) for
Teaching note: "Praised for" is the correct preposition collocation meaning reason.

4. (2) was going
Teaching note: Reported speech shifts present continuous "am going" → past continuous "was going".

5. (3) Despite
Teaching note: "Despite" + noun phrase (the heavy rain) shows contrast. "Because/Since" show cause; "Although" needs clause.

6. (1) is
Teaching note: Collective noun "committee" treated as singular in Singapore PSLE → "is considering".

7. (1) since
Teaching note: "Since" + point in time (2015). "For" + duration.

8. (2) were
Teaching note: "Neither… nor" — verb agrees with nearer subject "teachers" (plural) → were.

9. (3) threw
Teaching note: Past tense of "throw" is "threw" (irregular). "Thrown" is past participle.

10. (2) do
Teaching note: Collocation "do one's best" is fixed phrase.


Section B: Error Correction (1 mark each)

11. bit
Past tense of "bite" is "bit" (irregular). "Bite" is present.

12. has
"Each" is singular → "has". Common mistake: matching "girls".

13. taller
"More" not used with er-comparative. "Taller" suffices.

14. would
Reported speech: "will" → "would" (tense shift back).

15. on
Day = "on Monday". "At" used for time-of-day.

16. which was
Relative clause needs passive "which was written". Omitted auxiliary wrong.

17. were
Subjunctive "If I were you" (not am).

18. play
"Children" plural → "play" (not plays).

19. has gone
Past participle of "go" is "gone" (not went). Present perfect = has + gone.

20. saw
Past of "see" is "saw". "Seen" needs helper (had seen).


Section C: Transformation (2 marks each)

Marking: 1 mark meaning preserved, 1 mark correct grammar/structure with given word.

21. Although the boy was tired, he finished the race.
(Although + clause, comma, main clause. Contrast shown.)

22. The teacher said that they were having a test the next day.
("We"→they, "are"→were, "tomorrow"→the next day.)

23. The hailstorm broke the window.
(Active: agent + verb + object.)

24. She is not only clever but also humble.
(Not only + adj, but also + adj.)

25. Due to the storm, they cancelled the trip.
(Due to + noun phrase replaces because of clause.)

26. If he had studied, he would not have failed.
(Third conditional transformation.)

27. The girl sang so beautifully that the audience clapped.
(Such/so… that structure: so + adv + that.)

28. We must leave now; otherwise we will be late.** (or "otherwise we will be late")
(Otherwise = if not, connects consequence.)

29. The book which I borrowed from the library is interesting.
(Relative clause with which.)

30. He can swim as well as dive.** (or "as well as diving")
(As well as joins two abilities.)
