Q&A - PSLE English

[anonymousguru]

he or she can only go with ‘is’, so the sentence in only correct if "John’s sister is taller than he is"


So therefore the correct one is him.

Hi StrugglingMum,

I can't advise on 1-1/home tuition, but if your dd has a decent grasp of the language and is looking to excel in the paper/prep for secondary 1 (especially preparation for expository writing since she would not be affected by the new PSLE English format), there's always the usual suspects - Creative Horizons, Creative Campus, Alternative Story, Write Circle and of course, ***, haha.

Perhaps if you could reply here/PM me some more information about your dd's English (areas she's looking to improve in/teacher's comments etc), I will do my best to assist

Dear all,


I am new to this forum. I am also checking for a good english tutor for my girl who is taking p6 this year. Anyone can suggest good tutor/institution.

She needs more guidance on comprehension OE and OE cloze (where you need to fill the blanks with suitable words). Thanks

Hi, normally i told students to eliminate first.
Option 4 will be eliminated -- was starting instead of was started.
Option 3 will then be eliminated -- question is in past tense ( reached )
Option 2 is also eliminated -- has is not past tense.

so answer would be option 1.
