Revision for TR5

Dear children, 

Next Monday will be our TR 5 for English. It will be after recess, so I will still be able to revise with you before the test. These are the things to revise:

Vocabulary (refer to spelling list)
Unit 9 - The Best Pet
Unit 10 - The Grasshopper and The Ant
Unit 11 - Owl Babies

Grammar
1. Present tense and Past tense (Look for clues in the sentences.)
The tense must be the same for the whole sentence. 
E.g. The girls danced (past tense) in the rain and they were (past tense) drenched.

The only exception is when someone is talking.
E.g. "The soup is (present tense) too salty for me," Guang Hon said (past tense) at the restaurant just now (past tense).

2. Subject Verb Agreement
Singular nouns have singular verbs.

E.g.
The elephant splashes water over itself.
The boy runs across the road.

Plural nouns have plural verbs.

E.g.
The mice splash water everywhere. ['mice' is the plural of 'mouse']
The boys run across the road.

3. Prepositions
E,g,
The oranges fell through the hole in the bag.
The ball went over the roof.

4. Conjunctions/Connectors
E.g.

He had a stomachache because he ate expired food.

5. Contractions
E.g.

She is a lovely girl.

She's been to London.

6. Pronouns
E.g.
Uncle Lim is going for his morning walk now.
The horses are happy with their trainers.

7. Modal verbs
E.g.

There are more to each section, the examples above are only some of them. Refer to your STELLAR units for more examples. I have returned all the units so you should have them in your blue EL file.

I have uploaded a practice TR 5 on AsknLearn. Please complete your online quiz, I will be checking your results over the weekend.

For the Comprehension practice, I have given a hardcopy for you to work on. I will be going through the practice on Monday morning.

For pupils who want extra practice, complete the whole of Unit 11: Owl Babies. We will be finishing the unit on Monday and I will be going through on Monday too. Let's come to school ready to learn!

Sincerely,
Mrs Soh
