ksoh3000:

All the equipment is or are?

is

\"equipment\" = uncountable

So disappointed DD made such a mistake. I really have no clue why she made such an obvious mistake... Which she usually would not have made

[Oh My Gosh]

nicnac, my DS also. made a lot of careless mistakes… sigh, maybe they are too stress. Or just not careful.

My son said there is a \"just now\" in the question... so answer is \"was\"?

nicnac, it's not a good idea to recount mistakes at this point because it is just the start of the exam period and there are many more fights to come. It will only demoralise your DD. Forget about the English papers and focus on the upcoming exams that you can still can control the outcome.

DS is taking a nap. Only spoke briefly to him and didn't get to this question until I see it here.

[quote=\"Fruitijello\"]There's a question that ask for a similar word to \"thrive\" as in \"the plant thrives...\"

Is the answer \"flourish\" or \"bloom\"?
I checked for synonyms and found both as the answer! Any expert can help?

thrive
θrʌɪv/
verb
verb: thrive; 3rd person present: thrives; past tense: thrived; past tense: throve; gerund or present participle: thriving; past participle: thriven
(of a child, animal, or plant) grow or develop well or vigorously.
\"the new baby thrived\"
prosper; flourish.
\"education groups thrive on organization\"
synonyms:\tflourish, prosper, grow vigorously, develop well, burgeon, bloom, blossom, do well, advance, make strides, succeed; More
antonyms:\tdecline, wither, fail, stagnate, die, moribund, dying, unhealthy

I'm no expert but I think should be flourish.

Flourish.[/quote]Ya I think it is flourish too, he would have gotten it correct but \"suay suay\" yesterday attempted a past year other school exam paper with the same question and the answer sheet says \"bloom\" when he wrote it as \"flourish\". Sigh, misleading answer sheets...

[ryka]

DS answer is "physical" and "was" (because of "just now")

[Funz]

Once the paper is done, over and done with. Focus on the next paper.


DD took her PSLE last year, each time she starts wondering if her answer for this or that question is correct, I told her doesn’t matter anymore, move on.

All the best to all the P6ers on their remaining papers.
