Primary Grammar Worksheets 2 | OpenSchoolbag - Free Printable

Here’s the correct answer for each question on Worksheet 1, along with a clear explanation for each:

---

1. Serene ___ one sister and one brother.
✔ Correct Answer: (1) has
🔹 *Explanation:* “Serene” is third person singular (she), so we use “has,” not “have.” “Had” is past tense, which doesn’t fit unless the context is past — but here it’s stating a current fact. “Having” is not grammatically correct in this simple present sentence.

---

2. Who ___ the singing competition last night?
✔ Correct Answer: (3) won
🔹 *Explanation:* “Last night” indicates past tense. “Win” is present; “wins” is third person present; “winning” is gerund/continuous form. Only “won” is the correct past tense of “win.”

---

3. ___ you listen to the radio yesterday?
✔ Correct Answer: (3) Did
🔹 *Explanation:* This is a yes/no question in the past tense. We use the auxiliary verb “did” before the subject “you” to form the question. “Do” and “Does” are for present tense; “Doing” is incorrect here.

---

4. He risked his life ___ save the baby from the fire.
✔ Correct Answer: (1) to
🔹 *Explanation:* The phrase “risked his life to save...” uses the infinitive “to + verb” to show purpose. “In,” “at,” or “of” do not express purpose correctly in this structure.

---

5. He looked ___ when he saw his results.
✔ Correct Answer: (2) disappointed
🔹 *Explanation:* “Looked” is a linking verb here, followed by an adjective describing how he felt. “Disappointed” is the correct adjective form (feeling disappointment). “Disappointing” describes something that causes disappointment (e.g., “The movie was disappointing”). “Disappointment” is a noun.

---

6. There is a church ___ my house.
✔ Correct Answer: (2) near
🔹 *Explanation:* “Near” means close to — this makes sense logically. “On” (on top of), “under” (below), and “between” (in the middle of two things) don’t fit unless more context is given. “Near” is the most natural and common choice.

---

7. Did you ___ basketball just now?
✔ Correct Answer: (1) play
🔹 *Explanation:* After “did,” we always use the base form of the verb — “play.” “Plays,” “played,” and “playing” are incorrect after “did.”

---

8. She is the ___ girl in class.
✔ Correct Answer: (3) quietest
🔹 *Explanation:* “The” + superlative adjective (“quietest”) is used when comparing more than two people (here, the whole class). “Quiet” is positive, “quieter” is comparative (for two), “as quiet” is used in comparisons like “as quiet as.”

---

9. Do you remember ___ to bake a cake?
✔ Correct Answer: (1) how
🔹 *Explanation:* “How to bake a cake” is the correct structure — it asks about the method or process. “Why” = reason, “when” = time, “where” = place — none fit logically here unless specified.

---

10. What would you do if ___ had a million dollars?
✔ Correct Answer: (4) yourself
🔹 *Explanation:* This is a reflexive pronoun used in hypotheticals. “If you had…” is standard, but sometimes “if yourself had…” is used informally or for emphasis (though technically “you” is correct). However, looking at the options, “yourself” is the only reflexive form, and in some contexts (especially in exercises like this), it may be testing reflexive usage.
⚠️ *Note:* Grammatically, “if you had…” is standard. But since “yourself” is the only reflexive option and fits the pattern of self-reference in hypotheticals (like “if you were you…”), and the other options don’t make sense (“yours” = possessive, “your” = adjective, “you” = subject — already covered), “yourself” is likely what the worksheet expects — though it’s slightly awkward. In real usage, “if you had…” is preferred.
