PSLE English Grammar and Vocabulary 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?
- She don't like vegetables.
- She doesn't like vegetables. (Correct answer)
- She doesn't likes vegetables.
- She don't likes vegetables.
Correct answer: She doesn't like vegetables.
With third-person singular subjects (she, he, it), we use 'doesn't' (does not) followed by the base form of the verb.
Question 2: Choose the correct plural form of 'child'.
- Childs
- Childes
- Children (Correct answer)
- Childrens
Correct answer: Children
'Child' has an irregular plural form: 'children'. It does not follow the regular rule of adding '-s' or '-es'.
Question 3: Which word is an adverb in the sentence 'The rabbit ran quickly across the field'?
- Rabbit
- Ran
- Quickly (Correct answer)
- Field
Correct answer: Quickly
'Quickly' is an adverb because it describes how the rabbit ran — it modifies the verb 'ran'.
Question 4: What is the past tense of 'swim'?
- Swimmed
- Swam (Correct answer)
- Swum
- Swimed
Correct answer: Swam
'Swim' is an irregular verb. Its past tense is 'swam' and its past participle is 'swum'.
Question 5: Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
- Where are you going.
- Where are you going!
- Where are you going? (Correct answer)
- Where are you going,
Correct answer: Where are you going?
Questions must end with a question mark. 'Where are you going' is a question, so it needs a '?' at the end.
Question 6: Identify the conjunction in the sentence: 'I wanted to play outside, but it was raining.'
- Wanted
- Outside
- But (Correct answer)
- Raining
Correct answer: But
'But' is a coordinating conjunction that connects two independent clauses and shows contrast.
