Students can practice essential language arts skills with this Monday and Tuesday review sheet covering topics like relative pronouns and analogies.

Here is the completed 5-A-Day Language Review: Week 1 worksheet with explanations for each answer.

---

## 🟦 Monday

1. Complete the sentence with the correct relative pronoun and/or relative adverb.

> *The man __________ dog ran away is posting signs around the neighborhood.*

✔ Answer: whose

🔹 Explanation: “Whose” is a relative pronoun that shows possession. Here, the dog belongs to the man — so we say “the man whose dog ran away.”
- *Who/whom* refer to people (subject/object), but not possession.
- *That/which* refer to things or animals, not people in this context.
- *Where/when/why* are adverbs — not applicable here.

---

2. Select the correct verb tense. Then identify if the correct verb tense is past progressive, present progressive, or future progressive.

> *I __________ to music when I heard the knock on the door.*
Options: was listening / am listening / will be listening

✔ Answer: was listening → Past Progressive

🔹 Explanation: The phrase “when I heard” indicates a past event. The action of listening was ongoing *at that past moment*, so we use the past progressive tense: “was listening.”
- Present progressive (“am listening”) = happening now.
- Future progressive (“will be listening”) = happening later.

**3. The passengers... postponed the takeoff...*

> *postponed means: __________*

✔ Answer: delayed (or “put off”)

🔹 Explanation: To “postpone” means to delay or put something off until a later time. In context, repairs caused the takeoff to be delayed by over an hour.

---

4. Frequently confused words: Complete the sentence.

> *We can’t wait __________ swim in the pool today! (to/too/two)*

✔ Answer: to

🔹 Explanation: “Can’t wait to [do something]” is the correct idiomatic expression.
- *Too* = also or excessively (e.g., “too hot”)
- *Two* = the number 2
- *To* = preposition before a verb (infinitive)

---

5. Choose the synonym for: curious

Options: inquisitive / disinterested / tired / angry

✔ Answer: inquisitive

🔹 Explanation: “Curious” means eager to learn or know something — same as “inquisitive.”
- *Disinterested* = unbiased or not interested (often misused)
- *Tired* = exhausted
- *Angry* = mad

## 🟩 Tuesday

1. Rewrite to form a complete sentence without fragments or run-ons.

> *A high-speed boat. Whizzed by the dock. It scared us.*

✔ Answer: *A high-speed boat whizzed by the dock and scared us.*

🔹 Explanation: The original sentences are fragments. Combine them into one complete sentence using “and” to connect the actions. You could also write: *When a high-speed boat whizzed by the dock, it scared us.*

2. Choose a matching analogy.

> *wheel : car*

Options:
a) sandwich : lettuce
b) wall : room
c) dance : song
d) cat : dog

✔ Answer: b) wall : room

🔹 Explanation: A wheel is a *part* of a car. Similarly, a wall is a *part* of a room.
- Sandwich : lettuce → lettuce is a part, but not essential (not always true)
- Dance : song → related, but not part-of
- Cat : dog → both animals, but not part-of relationship

3. Rewrite adding commas and quotation marks for direct speech.

> *Please open your social studies books to page 247 said the teacher.*

✔ Answer: *“Please open your social studies books to page 247,” said the teacher.*

🔹 Explanation: Direct speech goes inside quotation marks. When the speaker tag comes after the quote, add a comma before closing the quotes.

---

4. Circle the misspelled word and write it correctly.

> *dear three rong*

✔ Misspelled word: rong → Correct spelling: wrong

🔹 Explanation: “Rong” is not a word. The correct spelling is “wrong.”

---

5. Choose the antonym for: enormous

Options: great / huge / whale / miniscule

✔ Answer: miniscule

🔹 Explanation: Antonym = opposite. “Enormous” means very large. “Miniscule” means extremely small — perfect opposite.
- *Great/huge* = synonyms of enormous
- *Whale* = a large animal, but not an adjective or true antonym
