English Comprehension

Dear pupils,

Here are some of the points to remember when answering Comprehension questions:

1.  Do not 'lift' answer from the passage (i.e. copy the whole sentence without any changes). You can only do so if the question requires you to do so. Do note the difference between "Which sentence in the passage tells you that..." & "Write two sentences to describe...". The first question is asking you to lift the answer from the passage whereas the second question is asking you to write in your own words.

2.  Remember to answer directly to the questions. Do not give unnecessary details.

3. Remember to use the correct tenses.

Please refer to the comprehension tips notes given to you for more details.
