03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | was | For the past of be, the singular subject weather takes was. |
| 2 | were | The plural subject we takes were in the past of be. |
| 3 | studied | A consonant plus y drops the y before -ied, giving studied. |
| 4 | stopped | A short vowel before a final consonant doubles the consonant before -ed. |
| 5 | did not see | Ago marks past time, so the negative is did not with the base verb see. |
| 6 | did / go | A past wh-question puts the question word first, then did, the subject and the base verb. |
| 7 | came | The past of come is came, never comed. |
| 8 | She did not go to the party. | Did not already carries the past, so the following verb stays as go. |
| 9 | rained / stayed | Both actions happened in the past, so every verb in the sentence stays in the past. |
| 10 | were | Many people is plural, so the past of be is were; was is the common wrong answer. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
