Q: Some creatures have shells ________ others do not.

A: Why can’t the answer be “but”?
My DS’s teacher told him that it should be “and”. It cannot be “but” because there is no comma in the sentence. We do not quite understand her explanation. Can anyone explain? Thank you.
The teacher is wrong. \"But\" does not need to be preceded by a comma, and it makes sense in the context of the sentence (provides an opposing idea).

P2 Grammar
Q: The prince and his guests_______out of the castle when the dragon started to chase after them.
1/run
2/ran
3/is running
4/was running

Why the answer is (2) not (4)?? Pls guide. Tq
1 is wrong.
3 and 4 are also wrong (because “prince and his guests”).
So only 2 left.

The meaning of the story would be different.

If you say “the prince and his guests ran out of the castle when the dragon started to chase after them”, it means:
- Dragon started to chase them, then
- they ran out

If you say “the prince and his guests were running out of the castle when the dragon started to chase after them”, it means:
- they were running first, then
- the dragon started to chase them
This story does not make sense, logically.

By the way, “the prince and his guests” are many people, so you cannot use “was” running. Must use “were” running.

the word after ‘to’ is usually present tense (even in a past tense sentence), thus ‘chase’ is present tense.

Is there a missing word in your question? There’s something wrong with the dragon part.

I can understand your anxiety as the STELLAR curriculum is still relatively new. Different schools have different ways of interpreting MOE's curriculum guidelines to suit the needs of their students. So what can we do as parents to help our children make the best of STELLAR?

Firstly, make use of every opportunity you get to meet up with your child's teacher and learn as much as you can about the Holistic Assessments that your child is going through. This will give you a better idea of how your child is doing and more importantly how to help your child.

That being said, reading widely and regularly should be the bedrock of your child's learning. This will ensure success not only in English, but in Math and Science as well. However, reading alone will not be sufficient in our demanding education landscape. What is more important is helping your child make the connection between what he reads and his own experiences. You can model making connections simply by saying:
\"This reminds me of...\"
\"This character is like...\"
\"This situation is kind of like...\"

Schools practise writing in the form of the Modified Language Experience Approach whereby students write about their experiences. Parents can link children's reading as well as experiences such as family outings to a simple writing activity like journal writing or even drawing.

Hope these tips help! 🙂
