Question 1

1. Does the bird sings?
2. Does the bird sing? (correct answer)
3. The bird sings?

Explanation: We are turning sentences into questions. With 'Does,' we use the simple verb form. 'Does the bird sing?' uses 'sing' not 'sings.'

Question 2

1. We play.
2. We play at the park after school. (correct answer)
3. Play at the park.

Explanation: We're adding more information to a sentence. Choice B tells us more: where they play (at the park) and when (after school). It gives us the most details about playing.

Question 3

1. The turtle moves slowly?
2. Does the turtle move slowly? (correct answer)
3. Does the turtle moves slowly?

Explanation: We're turning a statement into a question. 'Does the turtle move slowly?' is right because we add 'Does' and keep 'move' without the 's'. The verb doesn't need 's' after 'Does.'

Question 4

1. Is the cat cozy? (correct answer)
2. The cat is cozy.
3. The cat is cozy?

Explanation: This tests making questions. To make a question, put 'Is' at the start. Choice A says 'Is the cat cozy?' which asks about the cat.

Question 5

1. The enormous elephant.
2. Runs fast.
3. The enormous elephant walks slowly. (correct answer)

Explanation: We are finding complete sentences. Complete sentences have a subject (who) and action (what they do). Choice C has 'The enormous elephant' (who) and 'walks slowly' (what it does).

Question 6

1. The tiny kitten.
2. Runs fast.
3. The tiny kitten purrs. (correct answer)

Explanation: We're finding complete sentences. A complete sentence has a who and what they do. Choice C has both: 'The tiny kitten' (who) 'purrs' (what it does).

Question 7

1. The puppy naps.
2. The puppy naps?
3. Does the puppy nap? (correct answer)

Explanation: Does the puppy nap is a real question because the words are rearranged, with does coming first, the way questions are formed. The puppy naps is just a telling sentence with a period, not a question. The puppy naps with a question mark still keeps the words in telling order, so it is not written the way a real question is built. Only the third choice both asks something and is built the way a question should be.

Question 8

1. Does Sofia like apples? (correct answer)
2. Sofia likes apples?
3. Does sofia like apples?

Explanation: We're making a question from a statement. 'Does Sofia like apples?' is correct because it starts with 'Does,' has a capital 'S' for Sofia, and ends with '?'. All parts must be right in a question.

Question 9

1. Where is my lunchbox? (correct answer)
2. Where is my lunchbox.
3. Where is my lunchbox!

Explanation: We're finding the question sentence. 'Where is my lunchbox?' is the question because it asks something and ends with a question mark. The other sentences use wrong punctuation marks.

Question 10

1. Does Chen read today? (correct answer)
2. Does Chen reads today?
3. Chen reads today?

Explanation: We're changing a telling sentence to asking. 'Does Chen read today?' is correct because we add 'Does' and change 'reads' to 'read'. After 'Does,' we drop the 's' from the verb.

Question 11

1. Where is my lunch? (correct answer)
2. Where is my lunch.
3. My lunch in my bag.

Explanation: This tests finding questions. Questions ask something and end with a question mark (?). Choice A asks 'Where is my lunch?' and has a question mark.

Question 12

1. Is Sofia proud? (correct answer)
2. Sofia is proud.
3. Sofia proud?

Explanation: We are finding the question sentence. Questions ask something and end with question marks. 'Is Sofia proud?' asks a question the right way.

Question 13

1. Is the cat soft? (correct answer)
2. The cat is soft?
3. Is soft the cat?

Explanation: We are making questions from sentences. We move 'is' to the front to ask a question. 'Is the cat soft?' puts words in the right order.

Question 14

1. Where is my book? (correct answer)
2. Where is my book.
3. where is my book?

Explanation: We are making a correct sentence. Questions start with big letters and end with question marks. 'Where is my book?' has both things right.

Question 15

1. Maya draw.
2. Does Maya draw? (correct answer)
3. Maya draws?

Explanation: We are making questions from sentences. To make a question, we add 'Does' at the start. 'Does Maya draw?' is the right question form.

Question 16

1. Does Amir like pizza? (correct answer)
2. Amir likes pizza?
3. Does Amir likes pizza?

Explanation: We are making questions from sentences. When we use 'Does,' the verb loses its 's.' 'Does Amir like pizza?' uses 'like' not 'likes.'
