Which sentence uses correct punctuation?
Answer: The dog barked loudly, and it woke the neighbours.
A comma before a coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses is correct.
Which word is a pronoun in this sentence: 'She left her bag on the bus.'?
Answer: She
'She' is a pronoun that takes the place of a person's name.
Which sentence is written in the past tense?
Answer: The children played in the garden yesterday.
'Played' is the past tense form of the verb 'play', and 'yesterday' confirms the time.
Where should the apostrophe be placed in this phrase: 'the boys bikes'?
Answer: the boys' bikes
Because multiple boys own the bikes, the apostrophe goes after 'boys' to show plural possession.
Which is a compound sentence?
Answer: Lisa sang, and Marco danced.
A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction like 'and'.
Which sentence has correct subject-verb agreement?
Answer: The group of children is very noisy.
'Group' is the singular subject, so it takes the singular verb 'is'.
