eRevision English (16/8/07)
English Revision
Go through all the Grammar and Vocabulary items in the 'My Pals are Here!' - English text and Workbook.
Do look through all Practice Papers from CA1 to CA2.
Things to take note:
Do take note of the grammar section and do look out for 'clues' to the answer.
Jenny, as well as her brother enjoys cycling. - is considered as singular as Jenny is the subject
Jenny and her brother enjoy cycling. - is considered plural as Jenny and he brother is the subject.
Verbs are to be in base form after 'to' and modals like 'should', 'would', 'could', 'might' etc
If...(present tense verb).....(follows by).......will.......
If...(past tense verb).....(follows by).......would.......
Dictation Section
Look through the papers for any words which you can not spell as they could be somewhere around in the paper.
Verbs are normally in the past tense if it is a recount of an event or incident. Present tense will be used only if it is a information report or something that is factual.
Note taking Section
Remember to add a.m. or p.m. for the time, e.g. 1p.m. or 9a.m.
Cloze Passage Section
All answers are to be in the letters given.
Check through your choices to make sure you have selected the correct one.
Comprehension Section
Be very careful with the use of tenses and the questions should provide a very good hint.
e.g
Q:What does Brendan do for a living?
A: He sells hats.
Q:What did Brendan do for a living?
A: He sold hats.
Do take note for Information Reports where the verbs are normally in present tense as it is factual.
Use complete sentence when answering the questions but do not repeat any part of the questions in your answers.
Remember your punctuations especially for quotations e.g. The word is 'huddled'.
A full-stop is a must after all sentences.
