Q1. Read the passage and answer the questions given below (1 mark each):
There are wild dogs and pet dogs. Pet dogs are helpers and friends to people. There were no pet dogs 15000 years ago. Men and women learned how to work with dogs. Dogs helped humans travel from Asia to North America 10000 years ago by pulling sleds in the snow. People say dogs are “man’s best friend.” They help with farming, hunting, fishing, find things and can also pull things for people. There are many colors of dogs. A dog’s fur can be short or long or they can have curly or straight fur. There are very small dogs which are only 6-8 inches tall. There are very big dogs which are about 3 feet tall. All dogs can hear well. They can hear sounds that people cannot hear. All dogs can smell very well. They can smell 40 times better than humans. Dogs live 5 to 13 years, but some dogs live much longer.
(a) How can dogs help people?
(b) What can all dogs do well?
(c) Write the antonym of ‘Pet’ from the passage.
(d) How tall are the biggest dogs?

(b) All dogs can hear well and smell very well.
(c) Wild
(d) The biggest dogs are about 3 feet tall.
(e) Dogs: Man’s Best Friend (also acceptable: “All About Dogs”).
Teacher's Note:
1. Find the answer in the passage and copy only the needed words in your own sentence.
2. A title should be short and cover the whole passage, not just one line of it.
Q2. Identify the tense used in the following sentences (1 mark each):
(a) I am plucking flowers.
(b) We shall go to Jammu this weekend.
(c) He has won the gold medal.
(d) I go to temple every Sunday.
(e) Molly will have graduated by the end of this year. [5 marks]
View Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) Present continuous tense (am + verb-ing).
(b) Simple future tense (shall + base verb).
(c) Present perfect tense (has + past participle).
(d) Simple present tense (habit: every Sunday).
(e) Future perfect tense (will have + past participle).
Teacher's Note:
1. Look at the helping verbs first, such as am, shall, has and will have.
2. Do not mix up present perfect (has won) with future perfect (will have graduated).
Q3. Fill in the blanks with the present perfect tense form of the verbs given in the brackets (1 mark each):
(a) The policeman ______ many burglars. (arrest)
(b) We ______ hundreds of stamps. (collect)
(c) I ______ my books. (lose) [3 marks]
View Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) The policeman has arrested many burglars.
(b) We have collected hundreds of stamps.
(c) I have lost my books.
Present perfect = has/have + past participle; “has” goes with a singular subject, “have” with we and I.
Teacher's Note:
1. Use has with he, she, it and one person; use have with I, we, you and they.
2. Always change the verb in brackets to its past participle form.
Q4. Change the given sentences into future continuous tense (1 mark each):
(a) They are having breakfast.
(b) It is raining tonight.

View Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) They will be having breakfast.
(b) It will be raining tonight.
(c) We shall be travelling to Goa.
(d) I shall be missing their company.
Future continuous = will/shall be + verb-ing.
Teacher's Note:
1. Add will/shall be and the -ing form of the main verb.
2. Use shall with I and we, and will with the others (will is also accepted with I and we in modern English).
Q5. Fill in the blanks with suitable conjunctions (1 mark each):
(a) This town is small ______ peaceful. (and / or)
(b) It was too hot ______ I opened the windows. (as / so)
(c) He ______ studies hard but also works well. (not only / if only) [3 marks]
View Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) and – joins two similar ideas.
(b) so – shows the result (it was hot, therefore I opened the windows).
(c) not only – pairs with “but also”.
Teacher's Note:
1. Read the whole sentence and ask whether the two parts show addition, choice or result.
2. “Not only” always goes together with “but also”.
Q6. Underline the conjunction in each sentence and write if it is a coordinating or subordinating conjunction (1 mark each):
(a) I called Taniya but she didn’t answer.
(b) I didn’t reach on time because the traffic was heavy.
(c) He doesn’t like sports nor does he like music. [3 marks]
View Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) but – coordinating conjunction.
(b) because – subordinating conjunction (it joins a reason clause to the main clause).
(c) nor – coordinating conjunction.
Teacher's Note:
1. Coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) join equal parts of a sentence.
2. Subordinating conjunctions (because, if, when, although) begin a clause that depends on the main clause.
Q7. Use suitable interjections for the following sentences (1 mark each):
(a) ______ I hurt my ankle.
(b) ______ The apple pie is delicious.

(e) Alas! (sorrow)
Any suitable interjection that fits the feeling is accepted.
Teacher's Note:
1. First decide the feeling in the sentence: pain, joy, surprise or sorrow.
2. An interjection is followed by an exclamation mark.
Q8. State whether the given sentences are in active voice or passive voice. Write A for active and P for passive (1 mark each):
(a) I have planted two trees.
(b) The car will be driven by me.
(c) The baby is being fed by his mother. [3 marks]
View Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) A – the subject “I” does the action.
(b) P – the car receives the action (will be driven by me).
(c) P – the baby receives the action (is being fed by his mother).
Teacher's Note:
1. In active voice the subject does the action; in passive voice the subject receives it.
2. Passive sentences often have a form of be plus the past participle, and sometimes “by”.
Q9. Change the following sentences from active to passive voice (1 mark each):
(a) Kanak writes a letter.
(b) A policeman is chasing the thieves.
(c) I bought a bag. [3 marks]
View Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) A letter is written by Kanak.
(b) The thieves are being chased by a policeman.
(c) A bag was bought by me.
Teacher's Note:
1. Swap the object and the subject, then use the right form of “be” plus the past participle.
2. Keep the same tense, and change “I” to “me” after “by”.
Q10. In the following sentences replace the underlined words with a synonym (1 mark each):
(a) Max made a mistake in his homework.
(b) My friend is a famous man.

View Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) mistake = error (or blunder)
(b) famous = well-known (or renowned)
(c) enormous = huge (or giant, very large)
Teacher's Note:
1. A synonym is a word with almost the same meaning that fits the sentence.
2. After writing your word, read the sentence again to check that it still sounds right.

(a) Attack
(b) Victory
