TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - English Primary 6 PSLE (Answer Key)

Version 4 of 5 — Syllabus-aligned, not past-year derived

Total Marks: 20

Section A: Grammar Choice (8 marks)

1. (C) were completing [1]
   Teaching note: Past continuous "were completing" shows an action in progress when another action (bell rang) interrupted. Subject "students" is plural, so "was completing" would be wrong.

2. (C) had left [1]
   Teaching note: Third conditional for unreal past: If + past perfect, would have + past participle. "Had left" is correct.

3. (B) was [1]
   Teaching note: Reported speech shifts present "am" to past "was" to match "said".

4. (C) rejected [1]
   Teaching note: Singular "committee" treated as single unit here; past tense for completed action.

5. (B) Despite [1]
   Teaching note: "Despite" + noun phrase shows contrast; "Although" needs a clause.

6. (B) at [1]
   Teaching note: "Good at" is the correct preposition for subjects/skills.

7. (C) was written [1]
   Teaching note: Passive past simple; book is object acted upon.

8. (B) "Where are you going?" she asked. [1]
   Teaching note: Question mark inside quotes; "she asked" is lowercase after comma.

Section B: Fill in the Blanks (6 marks)

9. are playing [1]
   Note: Present continuous for action happening now.

10. little [1]
    Note: "Time" is uncountable, so "little" not "few".

11. since [1]
    Note: "Since" + point in time (2018); "for" + duration.

12. and [1]
    Note: Adds action; "but" would show contrast (not logical here).

13. its [1]
    Note: Possessive, not contraction "it's = it is".

14. should [1]
    Note: "Should" advises; "ought" needs "to" (ought to). Either acceptable but "should" fits blank.

Section C: Rewrite and Correct (6 marks)

15. John said that he was going to the library. [1]
    Note: Pronoun I→he, am→was, tense backshift.

16. The fish was eaten by the cat. [1]
    Note: Object becomes subject; past simple passive.

17. She doesn't like spicy food. [1]
    Note: "She" takes "doesn't" not "don't".

18. Although he was tired, he finished his homework. [1]
    Note: Contrast connector; comma after clause.

19. They had left before we arrived. [1]
    Note: Past perfect for earlier action; arrive→arrived.

20. "What a beautiful sunset!" exclaimed Mary. [1]
    Note: Capital W, exclamation mark, speaker capitalised.
