Language Exam Study Guide

Remember that our first bimestrial exam will be Language on Thursday, December 13th. It is very important that you check your notebook exercises too.
1. Adjectives: You need to be able to identify "quality" and "quantity" adjectives. Remember they are words that describe nouns, so they are placed before nouns.
Adjectives are words that tell: opinion (beautiful); size (large, small); age (old, young); shape: (round, square); temperature (cold, warm); colors (red, white); material (plastic, wooden); purpose (running, swimming, tennis, football). For example:

I have some new, orange, cotton, tennis shoes. (I am using four adjectives to describe the shoes).

Here is a link to a worksheet to practice identifying adjectives:

2. Simple Present Tense. Remember the simple present tense is used to describe facts and habitual or routinary actions. Describe your daily activities or facts about nature or other topics.

Here is a game to practice using the correct form of the verb in simple present, remember you have to add "s" or "es" when the subject is he, she, it or a singular noun. How fast are you to click on the right form when it appears, (I am not good at it!)

You also need to practice your Reading Comprehension skills like compare and contrast. Remember that when you compare, you find how things are similar and when you contrast, you tell how they are different.

For practice, try solving these worksheets, you can check your answers at the end:
