Which word in the sentence 'The cat sleeps.' is a noun?
None of these
sleeps
The
cat
A noun names a person, place, or thing. "Cat" is the thing being referred to in the sentence. It functions as the noun subject of the sentence.
In the sentence 'Birds fly high.', which word is the verb?
high
Birds
The
fly
A verb shows an action or state of being. "Fly" is the action that the birds perform. It is the verb in this sentence.
Which word is the adjective in 'She wore a blue hat.'?
blue
hat
She
wore
An adjective describes or modifies a noun. "Blue" describes the color of the hat, so it is the adjective. It gives more information about the noun.
Which of these sentences correctly ends with a question mark?
What is your name
What is your name!
What is your name.
What is your name?
A question mark is used at the end of a direct question. "What is your name?" asks a question, so it must end with a question mark.
Choose the correct form to complete: 'He ___ to school every day.'
walking
walked
walks
walk
With a singular subject "He," the verb requires an -s ending in the present tense. "Walks" agrees with the singular subject. Thus, "He walks to school every day."
Which sentence uses a pronoun correctly to replace the name?
Maria gave her book to Tom.
Maria gave its book to Tom.
Maria gave their book to Tom.
Maria gave him book to Tom.
"Her" correctly replaces Maria's possession. It is a subject's possessive pronoun and matches the feminine singular noun. The other options use incorrect pronouns or forms.
Which form completes the sentence: 'The dogs ___ in the yard.'?
running
runs
run
ran
"Dogs" is a plural subject, so the verb must be plural in present tense. "Run" agrees with the plural subject. "Runs" would be singular, and the others change tense or form.
How can you best combine these two sentences into a compound sentence? 'I like cake.' 'I like ice cream.'
I like cake but I like ice cream.
I like cake, I like ice cream.
I like cake I like ice cream yet.
I like cake and I like ice cream.
A compound sentence joins two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction such as "and." "I like cake and I like ice cream." correctly combines the ideas into one sentence.
Where should the commas go in the list? 'I bought apples bananas and oranges.'
I bought apples, bananas and oranges.
I bought apples bananas, and oranges.
I bought, apples, bananas and oranges.
I bought apples, bananas, and oranges.
In a list of three items, commas separate each item, and the Oxford comma may appear before 'and.' "I bought apples, bananas, and oranges." correctly uses commas.
In 'When John saw his friend, he waved,' who does 'he' refer to?
John
his friend
No one
the writer
A pronoun refers back to its antecedent, which is the closest appropriate noun. Here, "he" refers back to "John," the subject who did the waving.
Which of these is a compound sentence?
Birds sing loudly.
The sun shines.
She reads books.
I read books and I write stories.
A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a conjunction. "I read books and I write stories." has two clauses connected by 'and.'
Complete correctly: 'Either the cat or the dogs ___ outside.'
am
are
was
is
When using 'or,' the verb agrees with the nearest subject. The nearest subject here is "dogs," which is plural, so the correct verb is "are."
In 'The bright sun warmed the earth,' what is the subject?
bright
warmed
the earth
the bright sun
The subject is the person or thing performing the action. "The bright sun" performs the action of warming, so it is the subject of the sentence.
Which word correctly completes the subject in '___ and I went to the park.'?
Myself
Mine
Me
I
When the pronoun is part of a compound subject, use the subject form "I." "I and I" would be incorrect; "X and I went" shows proper subject case.
Which sentence uses an interjection with the correct punctuation?
Wow, I did it.
Wow, I did it!
Wow I did it.
Wow I did it!
An interjection like "Wow" is set off by a comma when followed by the main clause, and uses an exclamation mark for strong feeling. "Wow, I did it!" is correct.
Which sentence correctly matches the collective noun with its verb? 'The team ___ ready to play.'
is
are
were
am
A collective noun such as "team" is treated as singular when acting as a unit. Therefore, it takes the singular verb "is."
Which sentence correctly uses pronouns for 'Sarah and Tom'?
Sarah and Tom went to their school.
Sarah and Tom went to her school.
Sarah and Tom went to its school.
Sarah and Tom went to his school.
"Their" is the correct plural possessive pronoun for Sarah and Tom. It shows something that belongs to both of them. Other options misuse singular or incorrect pronouns.
How should you combine these actions into one sentence with commas? 'I washed the dishes. I dried the dishes. I put them away.'
I washed the dishes dried the dishes and put them away.
I washed, the dishes, dried the dishes, and I put them away.
I washed the dishes, dried the dishes, and put them away.
I washed the dishes; dried the dishes; and put them away.
When listing three related actions, commas separate each phrase, and the last item is preceded by 'and.' This makes a clear list of actions.
Which of these is a run-on sentence?
She likes to read. She likes to write.
She likes to read she likes to write.
She likes to read, and she likes to write.
She likes to read; she likes to write.
A run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation or conjunction. "She likes to read she likes to write." has no separator, so it is run-on.
Which sentence is clear and properly structured?
Cat the dog chased the.
Chased the cat the dog.
The dog chased the cat.
The dog the cat chased.
Correct English sentence structure follows Subject-Verb-Object order. "The dog chased the cat." is clear, with the dog doing the action to the cat.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Recognize Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives - Nouns name people, places, things, or big ideas, verbs show actions or states, and adjectives add color to your nouns. Spotting them in sentences turns you into a grammar superhero and lays a strong foundation for clear writing. Ready your highlighter and dive in! Grammar Review - Eastern
  2. Master Subject-Verb Agreement - Make your sentences sing by matching subjects and verbs in number: singular with singular and plural with plural. "She runs" and "They run" might look tiny, but they carry big importance for clarity. Nail this rule and watch your writing flow like a pro! Sentence Structure Study Guide - Union Test Prep
  3. Use Pronouns Correctly - Swap out repeated nouns with pronouns (he, she, it, they) to keep your sentences smooth and avoid awkward echoes. Instead of "Sarah said Sarah is excited," try "Sarah said she is excited." This trick makes your writing feel more conversational and coherent! Parts of Speech 2 - Campbell's 5th Grade Squad
  4. Understand Reflexive Pronouns - Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, himself, etc.) always point back to the subject: "I taught myself to juggle." They're the perfect tool when your subject and object are one and the same. Mastering them adds precision and flair to your sentences! Grade 2 Grammar - Night Zookeeper
  5. Form Plural Nouns Correctly - Most nouns just need an "s" or "es" to become plural ("cat" → "cats," "fox" → "foxes"), but watch out for irregulars like "child" → "children." Knowing these patterns helps you avoid rookie mistakes and write confidently. Practice a few oddballs to impress your teacher! Grade 2 Grammar - Night Zookeeper
  6. Identify and Use Adverbs - Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often ending in "-ly," and answer how, when, where, or to what extent. For example, "She sings beautifully" or "He almost finished." Sprinkle them into your writing to paint vivid, dynamic scenes! Grammar Review - Eastern
  7. Construct Simple Sentences - A simple sentence packs one subject and one predicate into a complete thought: "The dog barks." It's your building block for more complex ideas and prevents run-ons. Master the simple stuff first to rocket-launch your writing skills! Grammar Review - Eastern
  8. Build Compound Sentences - Fuse two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) to add variety: "I wanted to play, but it started raining." This combo keeps readers engaged and your style versatile. Mix and match for maximum impact! Grammar Review - Eastern
  9. Apply Correct Punctuation - Punctuation marks (periods, commas, question marks, exclamation points) are your secret signals for tone and clarity. "Let's eat, Grandma!" versus "Let's eat Grandma!" shows how a comma can save the day. Sharpen your skills to avoid hilarious mix-ups! Grammar Study Guide - NewPathWorksheets
  10. Practice Subject-Verb Agreement - Regular drills with subject-verb pairs strengthen your grammar muscles: "The cat sleeps" versus "The cats sleep." Try flashcards, quizzes, or quick daily exercises to lock in this essential rule. Consistency is your ticket to error-free writing! Subject-Verb Agreement Worksheet - Twinkl
