PSLE Grammar MCQ Practice (free sets, with answers and explanations)

Exam-style grammar MCQ practice for PSLE English Paper 2, Section A. Every question comes with the answer and the rule it tests, because a child who only learns which letter was right learns nothing they can reuse.

New to a rule? Start with the grammar lessons first, then come back and practise it here.

The two traps that cost the most marks​

Words between the subject and the verb. "The pile of old newspapers ___ to be recycled." The subject is the pile, not newspapers. Delete the middle phrase before choosing the verb and most agreement errors vanish.

Reading the option instead of the sentence. Strong readers pick the answer that sounds right without checking the tense signal ("yesterday", "since 2015", "by the time"). The signal word decides it, not the ear.

How to use these with your child​

  1. Do a full set in one sitting, without checking answers as you go.
  2. Mark it together, and for every mistake ask "which rule was this testing?" before reading the explanation.
  3. Keep a short list of the rules that keep coming back. Three or four usually account for most of the losses.
