TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Answer Key

English Primary 6 PSLE — Grammar Focus (Version 5 of 5)

Section A: Grammar MCQ (10 marks)

Qn	Answer	Explanation
1	B	Third conditional structure requires "had + past participle" in the if-clause. "Had studied" correctly pairs with "would have achieved."
2	B	Past perfect passive ("had been put") is needed because the fire was put out before the rescue team arrived (past-before-past).
3	B	The subject is "the report" (singular). Phrases like "along with" do not change the subject number. Singular verb "was" is correct.
4	B	With "neither...nor," the verb agrees with the nearest subject. "Employees" (plural) is nearest, so "are" is correct.
5	C	After verbs of demand/suggestion/insist (subjunctive mood), use the base form "be conducted."
6	B	"Not only" at the beginning of a sentence triggers subject-auxiliary inversion: "did she complete."
7	C	After "made" (causative, passive sense), use the full infinitive "to finish." Pattern: make someone do (active) → be made to do (passive).
8	C	Second conditional uses "were" (not "was") for all subjects in formal/standard English, including "I."
9	A	"Put off" means to postpone. The context (delaying a meeting) matches this phrasal verb.
10	B	"Scarcely" at the beginning triggers inversion with past perfect: "had she closed." Pattern: Scarcely + had + subject + past participle + when + past simple.

Section B: Grammar Editing and Transformation (15 marks)

11. [1 mark]
Corrected sentence: The number of students who have passed the test has increased significantly this year.
Explanation: "The number of" takes a singular verb ("has"). However, "who" refers to "students" (plural), so "have" is correct in the relative clause. Common mistake: students write "has" for both.

12. [1 mark]
Corrected sentence: She suggested that he take a break and reconsider his options carefully.
Explanation: After "suggested that," the subjunctive mood requires the base form of the verb ("take," "reconsider"), not the past tense.

13. [1 mark]
Corrected sentence: Each of the participants was given a certificate and a small token of appreciation.
Explanation: "Each" is always singular, so the verb must be "was," not "were."

14. [1 mark]
Corrected sentence: The teacher asked the students not to talk during the examination.
Explanation: The correct negative infinitive form is "not to + verb," not "to not + verb." While "to not talk" is sometimes accepted in informal usage, standard grammar for PSLE requires "not to talk."

15. [1 mark]
Passive voice: The new library will be completed by the construction company by the end of next month.
Explanation: Active "will complete" becomes passive "will be completed." The agent ("by the construction company") may be included or omitted.

16. [2 marks]
Answer: Not only did she finish the report, but she also prepared the presentation before the deadline yesterday.
Marking: 1 mark for correct inversion ("did she finish"), 1 mark for correct tense and parallel structure ("prepared").
Explanation: "Not only" at the start requires inversion. Since the action happened "yesterday," past simple is used. The auxiliary "did" is added for inversion.

17. [2 marks]
Answer: If the government had invested more in renewable energy last decade, the country would be less dependent on fossil fuels today.
Marking: 1 mark for "had invested" (third conditional / mixed conditional), 1 mark for correct preposition "in" and overall sense.
Explanation: This is a mixed conditional: past condition ("had invested") with a present result ("would be"). The if-clause refers to an unreal past action.

18. [2 marks]
Answer: The storm was so severe that many houses were damaged.
Marking: 1 mark for "so," 1 mark for "that" and correct sentence structure.
Explanation: "So + adjective + that + result clause" is the standard pattern for expressing consequence.

19. [2 marks]
Answer: After he had finished his homework, he went out to play.
Marking: 1 mark for correct use of "After," 1 mark for past perfect ("had finished") to show the action was completed before the second action.
Explanation: "After" already shows sequence, but using past perfect ("had finished") emphasises that the homework was fully completed before going out. Acceptable alternative: "After finishing his homework, he went out to play."

20. [3 marks]
Answer: The coach said that they had to train harder if they wanted to win the championship the following week. He/She added that he/she had never seen such potential in any team.
Marking scheme:

1 mark for correct tense shift: "must" → "had to," "want" → "wanted," "have never seen" → "had never seen"
1 mark for pronoun change: "you" → "they," "I" → "he/she"
1 mark for time reference change: "next week" → "the following week" and correct use of "that"
Explanation: In reported speech, tenses shift back one step, pronouns change to reflect the speaker, and time expressions are adjusted accordingly.

Section C: Grammar Cloze (15 marks)

Qn	Answer	Explanation
21	as	"Referred to as" is a fixed collocation meaning "called/named."
22	Although / Though / Even though	A concessive conjunction is needed to show contrast between studying for decades and still having mysteries.
23	is	Passive construction: "is estimated to" (present simple passive).
24	If / Since / As	A conditional or causal conjunction introducing the rising deforestation rate. "If" (conditional) or "Since/As" (causal) are both acceptable.
25	be / must be / should be	Subjunctive after "insist": "action be taken." "Must be" and "should be" are also acceptable.
26	that	"Argue that" introduces a noun clause stating the argument.
27	It	Cleft sentence structure: "It was not until..." for emphasis.
28	have	Present perfect: "have been established" (from past to present).
29	Although / Though / While / Whilst	Concessive conjunction showing contrast between efforts and the need for more.
30	are / were	Conditional: "If current trends are reversed" (first conditional, real possibility) or "were reversed" (second conditional, hypothetical). Both acceptable.
31	will / would	Future consequence: "will be" (real) or "would be" (hypothetical). Must match the conditional in Q30.
32	however / no matter	"However small" or "no matter how small" — concessive expression.
33	is	Present simple: "The Amazon is not merely a collection..."
34	If / Should	Conditional: "If we fail" or "Should we fail" (inverted conditional).
35	depends / rests	"Upon which our planet's health depends/rests" — relative clause with preposition. "Depends" is the most natural choice.
