P4 EL CA1 question 18:

\"You need this ticket to enter the museum, ___ you?\" asked Cally.
1) do
2) don't
3) did
4) didn't

I think the answer should be \"don't\" since \"need\" is in present tense. But teacher said \"didn't\" is the answer. :?

bro, i am confused....

i saw my dd's answer script and her answer to Q14 was 'so' and Q18 was \"don't\".....both the answers were marked correct.....is there any problem with your ds's teacher.....

Thanks for all your feedback.


The teacher's answer is \"yet\", but I have been using \"so\" for similar sentences all my life.

I checked the dictionary -- \"yet\" means \"nevertheless\" or \"however\". So it does not seem to fit in because the test result mentioned is a surprise.

If the sentence begins with \"All of us...\", then I will say the answer is \"yet\".

I think the contrast is between none passed and all passed. \"So\" is not used in contrast context.

I must agree the qns were much more difficult than i expected, the phrasing more tricky n the marking more strict too..my boy was too careless n overly confident.. Oh well.. I m thankful its only 10percent..

I tried out one compre qn that ds got wrong. Guess what? I got it wrong too. *paiseh* Didn't notice the subtlety in the passage until I saw the model answer.

I hope this Sat's PTC, all parents will \"zhi-tong\" and keep to the allocated 10 min. Last yr, the couple before me took 30 min and I nearly gave up and left. In the end, the couple apologized for overrunning the clock which at least made me feel better. Still, if I have 2 groups of parents taking 30 min each in front of me, then I die liao.

So bad hur? No wonder my SIL is determined to leave the service once her bond ends. Some pupils (and their parents) not easy to handle.

So after checking with the teacher, it is found out that my son is the one who marked the paper wrongly when going thru the questions in class. He mixed up the answers. :mad:
My apologies for this non-issue after all.
