Choose the correct possessive noun: "The ____ tail wagged happily."
dog
dogs

A possessive noun shows ownership by adding an apostrophe and "s". "Dog's" indicates the tail belongs to the dog. "Dogs" is plural, "dogs'" is plural possessive, and "dog" is singular noun. .
Which is the correct comparative form of the adjective "interesting"?
interestingly
more interesting

What is the subject in the sentence "My friends and I are going to the park."?
My friends
park
I
My friends and I
The subject is who or what performs the action. Here, both "My friends" and "I" are performing the action of going, making the compound subject "My friends and I." "Park" is the object of the preposition. .

In "Maria gave her brother a gift.", what is the indirect object?
her brother

What type of sentence is "Do your homework before you watch TV"?
Interrogative
Imperative

Which sentence uses an apostrophe correctly?
It is' a nice day.
Its a nice day.

Identify the preposition in the sentence "The treasure is buried under the old oak tree."
old
buried
under
treasure
Prepositions show relationships between nouns or pronouns and other words. "Under" indicates the position of the treasure relative to the tree. The other words serve as noun, verb, or adjective. .
Which pronoun correctly replaces the noun "Tom" in "Sara gave the book to Tom"?
them
his
him
he
When replacing the object of a verb, we use the objective case pronoun. "Tom" is the object, so it becomes "him." "He" is nominative, "his" is possessive, and "them" is plural. .
Fill in the blank with the correct article: "____ apple a day keeps the doctor away."

no article

Which sentence correctly uses a semicolon?
I like tea; coffee is my favorite.
I like tea; and coffee.
I like tea coffee; is great.
I like tea; I don't like coffee?
A semicolon links two independent clauses without a conjunction. "I like tea" and "coffee is my favorite" are both complete sentences. The other options misuse the semicolon or include incorrect punctuation. .

Cheat Sheet

  1. Identifying Nouns -

    Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas and are the building blocks of sentences. Remember the simple phrase "All Nouns Are Names" to spot them easily in texts (Purdue OWL). For example, in "The library is quiet," both "library" and "quiet" serve as nouns and adjectives.

  2. Exploring Adjectives -

    Adjectives describe or modify nouns, adding color, size, or feeling (University of Cambridge). Use the mnemonic "OSASCOMP" (Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, Purpose) to order multiple adjectives correctly. In "A small, golden key," "small" and "golden" both shape our mental image.

  3. Recognizing Verbs -

    Verbs express actions or states of being and are essential for complete thoughts (Harvard Graduate School of Education). Ask "What's happening?" to find the action, like "jumps" in "She jumps rope." Also note linking verbs like "is" or "seem" to join subjects with descriptions.

  4. Crafting Complete Sentences -

    A sentence needs a subject (who or what) and a predicate (what's happening) to stand alone (Oxford University Press). For instance, "The curious fox (subject) explored the garden (predicate)." Practice by spotting the subject and predicate in everyday reading to boost fluency.

  5. Mastering Punctuation Marks -

    Punctuation like periods, question marks, and exclamation points help readers pause, ask, or feel excitement (Chicago Manual of Style). Think of a red stop sign for periods, a rising voice for question marks, and fireworks for exclamation points. For example: "Wow! Did you see that?" combines thrill with inquiry.
