The verb that comes after that is Present and Plural.

Look at the first subject (noun) for singular or plural.

Please use your pre-reading thinking activity to help you for your comprehension mcq and open-ended. Spend about 10-15mins to plan and read before going through the passage and then moving on to answer your questions.

Check for tenses please!

Same goes for your comprehension cloze. Please read the passage first and make meaning of the characters, main event and place. Then highlight the key words and draw arrows. Finally, check for grammar clues (singular/plural/present/past).

All the best! Make full use of the time given to you.

Mr Nelson Ong
