Janet thanks for the alternative advise on the grammer book. will check it out soon and do a comparison.
any good chinese books for P1??to share...

Allow me to answer. Basic English Grammar is avail in Popular. It's actually placed near the Énglish section of assessment books (face up) instead of on the shelves.

For Chinese assessment book, you can consider either Victoria (每课一练）Publications or EPH（this author 蔡云飞) ...1st half of 1A book is on hanyu pinyin.

________ colour do you prefer? Blue or green?

Answer is Which. But can I use What for the answer?


Thanks.

Thanks.

\"what\" is for \"asking for information specifying something\"

what is your name?
what time is it?

\"which\" used for \"asking for information specifying one or more people or things from a definite set\"


si in your case you have a definite set of blue and green. so I think, \"which\" is more appropriate answer.

Hi Callie,

Agree with plum-cake that 'Which' is the answer. Plum-cake has explained it very nicely.

Has your DD settled in her new sch?? Hope she's enjoying sch.

Hi Mummies,

I bought this compo guide book from Popular IMM last night.
‘Towards Better Composition Writing’ by EPH. Selling at $2.90 for levels from P1-6.

Yes I agree with plum-cake and appreciate her explanation.

Thanks for the concern but my girl is still not fully adjusted to this 'schooling' thingy. Her serparation anxiety is quite serious... so she is still crying and asking not to go school until today. Sigh.... But when I ask her \"how's school today?\", she will tell me \"good\" or at least \"ok\"... so I really can't tell whether she is enjoying school or not.

Hi Callie,

When I ask my daughter if she likes school, she tells me the same thing all the time, ‘ok’. That answer is rather general…it doesn’t quite tell me if she is learning well. Fortunately there are worksheets.

English & Maths, she is quite ok. But her Chinese is weak, esp hanyu pinyin. So I’ve got to spend more time on her subjects when my older one doesn’t have CA or SA. Compo, comprehension, cloze, grammar, vocab on diff days of the week.
