Question 1. What do the traffic-lights say to you?

Test Yourself

 

Question 8. Write the name of five fruits and vegetables.
Answer:
Fruits: banana, apple, grapes, melon, mango
Vegetables: potato, brinjal, beans, tomato, cabbage
This question checks your knowledge of common fruits and vegetables. Eating a variety of both is important for good health, and they provide essential nutrients. Different regions may have different common produce.
In simple words: Name five fruits (like banana, apple) and five vegetables (like potato, tomato).

🎯 Exam Tip: When asked to list items, try to remember common examples first to ensure you have enough. Always check if you need to name a specific quantity, like five.

 

Question 9. Write sentences using 'this' or 'that'.
(a) This is a book.
(b) That is an orange.
Answer: We use 'this' for things close to us and 'that' for things far away. Both 'this' and 'that' are singular demonstrative pronouns. They help us point out specific items, making our communication clearer. Knowing when to use each is important.
In simple words: Use 'this' for something nearby and 'that' for something further away, like "This is a book" or "That is an orange."

🎯 Exam Tip: Remember 'this' and 'these' are for close objects, while 'that' and 'those' are for far objects. Also, 'this' and 'that' are for singular items, while 'these' and 'those' are for plural items.

 

Question 10. Fill in the blanks with appropriate words:
(a) trumpet
(b) naughty
(c) teapot
(d) purple
Answer: These words (trumpet, naughty, teapot, purple) are common vocabulary terms used to complete sentences based on their context. Understanding their meanings helps in using them correctly in different situations. Each word describes a different thing or quality.
In simple words: These are words like 'trumpet' and 'purple' that you would use to complete sentences where a word is missing.

🎯 Exam Tip: When filling in blanks, always consider the meaning of the sentence and the part of speech required (e.g., noun, adjective) to choose the best word.

 

Question 11. Fill in the blanks with a/an/the:
(a) The sun.
(b) An apple.
(c) A bag.
(d) An orange.
Answer: We use 'a' before words starting with a consonant sound (like 'bag'), 'an' before words starting with a vowel sound (like 'apple' or 'orange'), and 'the' for specific or unique things (like 'sun'). Correct usage of these articles makes sentences grammatically sound and clearer. This is a fundamental rule in English grammar.
In simple words: Use 'a' for words starting with B, C, D..., 'an' for A, E, I, O, U..., and 'the' for special or specific things.

🎯 Exam Tip: Pay attention to the *sound* of the word, not just the first letter, when deciding between 'a' and 'an' (e.g., 'an hour' because 'h' is silent).

 

Question 12. Complete the sentences with the help of words given in the box [he, she, his, her]:
(a) This is Sonu.
(b) He is a singer.
(c) It is his drum.
(d) This is Sunita.
(e) She is a player.
(f) It is her badminton.
Answer: We use 'he' and 'his' when referring to boys or men, and 'she' and 'her' when referring to girls or women. 'He' and 'she' are used as subjects, while 'his' and 'her' show possession. These words, called pronouns and possessive adjectives, help us avoid repeating names and make sentences flow better. Mastering their use is key for clear communication.
In simple words: Use 'he' and 'his' for boys, and 'she' and 'her' for girls, to complete sentences like "He is a singer" or "It is her badminton."

🎯 Exam Tip: Remember to use 'he'/'his' for male subjects and 'she'/'her' for female subjects to ensure correct gender agreement in sentences.
