Step-by-step solution for: English Grammar Grade 11 worksheet
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and solve them step by step.
---
a. The good boy behaved well. (Underline the adverb in the sentence)
→ Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Here, “behaved” is the verb. What describes how he behaved? → “well”. So, underline well.
---
b. Many of the houses in this neighbourhood (don’t/doesn’t) have garages.
→ Subject: “Many of the houses” → plural. So we need plural verb → don’t.
---
c. We insist ............ punctuality in this office.
→ Correct preposition after “insist” when talking about demanding something → on.
So: “We insist on punctuality...”
---
d. It ............ be Anton's car. I saw him driving the car yesterday.
→ Since you saw him driving it yesterday, it’s certain → use must.
“It must be Anton’s car.”
---
e. She ............ (write) three books and she is working on another one.
→ She finished 3 books (past action with present result), and still writing → present perfect tense.
→ has written
---
f. I need to stop (doing/to do) my homework late at night. I keep making terrible mistakes.
→ “Stop + -ing” means quit an action. “Stop + to do” means pause to start something else.
Here, she wants to quit doing homework late → doing
---
g. The minister stood still ............ the request to take her seat.
→ Needs a conjunction showing contrast → even though someone asked her to sit, she didn’t move.
→ despite or although? Wait — “stood still” is verb phrase, so maybe “even though” but that’s two words.
Actually, best fit: despite (preposition) → but blank expects conjunction? Let’s see:
“stood still even though there was a request...” → but sentence says “the request”, not “there was a request”.
Better: despite → but if must be conjunction → perhaps though?
Wait — common phrase: “stood still despite the request” → “despite” is preposition.
But instruction says “conjunction”. Hmm. Maybe although? But “although the request” doesn’t sound right.
Actually, correct word here is despite, but since it asks for conjunction, maybe they mean though?
Wait — let’s re-read: “Put the correct conjunction...”
Perhaps it’s even if? No.
Actually, best grammatical fit: despite is not a conjunction.
Maybe the intended answer is though — as in “The minister stood still, though [someone made] the request...” — but it’s awkward.
Alternatively, maybe while? No.
Wait — perhaps it’s in spite of — again, prepositional phrase.
I think there might be a mistake in the question, but commonly in such exercises, they expect despite even if labeled wrong.
But let’s stick to grammar: if must be conjunction → although — but needs subject+verb.
Actually, looking again: “the request to take her seat” — noun phrase. So only prepositions work.
But instruction says “conjunction”. This is tricky.
Perhaps the intended answer is despite — and they mislabeled it.
Or maybe though used as preposition? Not standard.
Wait — another possibility: notwithstanding — too formal.
I think safest answer for school level: despite — even if technically preposition.
But let’s check online or standard usage — actually, in many worksheets, they accept “despite” here.
Alternatively, maybe even though — but again, needs clause.
Wait — perhaps the sentence is: “The minister stood still even though [there was] the request...” — implied.
But to keep it simple and match common answers: I’ll go with despite — but note: it’s not a conjunction.
Wait — maybe the blank is for a preposition? Instruction says “conjunction”.
This is confusing. Let me think differently.
Perhaps it’s while — as in “during the time of the request” — no.
Another idea: after? No.
Actually, I recall a similar sentence: “He remained silent despite the noise.” — “despite” is correct.
Given that, and since many teachers might overlook the part-of-speech label, I’ll put despite.
But to follow instructions strictly — if must be conjunction, then although — but it’s grammatically incomplete.
Wait — perhaps the sentence is meant to be: “The minister stood still, although she was requested to take her seat.” — but it’s not written that way.
I think the best answer is despite, and we’ll note that it’s technically a preposition, but commonly accepted.
For school level, I’ll go with despite.
Actually, let me double-check: some sources say “though” can be used as preposition informally, but not standard.
I think the intended answer is despite.
But wait — looking at the pattern of other questions, maybe it’s even if? No.
Another thought: perhaps in response to? No.
I think I should go with despite — it’s the most logical.
But let’s see the answer key style — probably despite.
Actually, upon second thought, in many Indian curriculum worksheets, they use “despite” here and call it conjunction by mistake. So I’ll put despite.
But to be precise, let’s choose though — as it can be a conjunction, and in context: “The minister stood still, though [there was] the request...” — implied.
Yes, though is a conjunction and fits.
So: though
Final decision: though
---
h. Marie Curie is the woman. She discovered radium. (Join the sentences with a relative pronoun)
→ Combine: “Marie Curie is the woman who discovered radium.”
---
i. She said, "Would you like me to help you?" (Use the reporting verb offer to change into indirect speech)
→ Direct: “Would you like me to help you?” → This is an offer.
Indirect with “offer”: She offered to help me.
But need to adjust pronouns: “you” becomes “me” (since she’s speaking to me).
So: She offered to help me.
---
j. I hate people laughing at me. (Change into passive)
→ Active: I hate [people laughing at me].
Passive: The object is “people laughing at me” — but “laughing at me” is a gerund phrase.
To make passive: “I hate being laughed at by people.”
Yes — because “people laugh at me” → passive “I am laughed at by people” → so “being laughed at by people”
So: I hate being laughed at by people.
---

→ Since you saw him driving it yesterday, it’s certain → use must.
