What theory practice a means

In this practice set, you answer short English questions on grammar and word meaning. You learn to give the correct form of a word or the right opposite, which helps you in BECE-style language questions.

What you will practise

  • Change singular nouns to the correct plural form.
  • Give the past tense of common regular and irregular verbs.
  • Choose the opposite meaning of simple vocabulary words.
  • Write answers clearly and in the correct word form.

Before you start

You should already know basic nouns, verbs, and common adjectives. It also helps if you can read simple question prompts carefully.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Write the plural of "baby".

Answer: Babies

Working: For nouns ending in a consonant + y, change y to i and add -es: babies.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Adding only -s to nouns ending in consonant plus y. Change y to i and add -es.
  • Using buyed instead of the irregular past tense bought. Learn common irregular verbs by heart.
  • Giving a word with a related meaning instead of the opposite. Check the exact meaning first.
  • Misspelling the answer after finding the right form. Write the final word neatly and check it.
