4th GRADE Grammar exam's guide

Remember to check the following grammar points to your third period grammar exam:

1. Question words in simple present questions: WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW

2. Who questions:    a) subject --- Who knows the answer? where we don´t use auxiliary and the verb used is in third person adding -s, -es or -ies.      b) object --- Who do you usually go to the movies? where we have a subject and we use the corresponding auxiliary: DO or DOES.

3. Remember that we use DO with I, you, we, you and they and DOES with he, she and it.

3. Possessives' chart given in class.

4. THERE IS and THERE ARE---- THERE IS for singular and THERE ARE for plural (both meaning HAY in Spanish)

5. Write the corresponding question to obtain the answer given. Example:

_________________________________?
I live in Coyoacán.

The answer is : WHERE DO YOU LIVE

Here you have a link where you can remember how to form questions in simple present.

wh- questions simple present

Hello my dear 4th grade grammar students.

Remember the formula used to form WH questions in simple present with verbs different from the verb TO BE:


WH (question word) + DO/DOES + subject +verb + complement + ?

Examples:


Where do you live?
Here the question word is WHERE, the auxiliay is DO because the subject is YOU and the veb is LIVE

What time does she arrive school everyday?
Here the question word is WHAT TIME, the auxiliary is DOES because the subject is IS, the veb is ARRIVE and finally the complement is SCHOOL EVERYDAY

Here you are a link where you can solve some exercises using question words.

Let me know if you have any kind of problems solving them.

Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
