Read the following story carefully: I was counting down the seconds as I watched the clock. Our prayers were said and the teacher had stated that we were free to go at the sound of the bell.

I didn’t even hear what she

was saying anymore. All I know is, I was ready to leave. It was Friday. I heard some chatter in the background, but I didn’t listen. All I could think about was how good the food would be that night. I would order a thick juicy hamburger and some fries with extra ketchup. All the workers loved me at Jakes Hamburger Stop. My parents had promised to take me there since we had not been there since the start of the pandemic.

Finally, the bell rang. I jumped up and hurried to my bag. A lot of papers flew out. I just shuffled them back in, grabbed my things and hurried through the door and on to the corridor.

“Sarah!” I heard my teacher call. ”Don’t forget about ……” as I hurried through the door.

On Monday I was back at school. “Oh no! We are having a test,” I thought. How could I have known? The teacher handed out the copies. I didn’t know any of the answers to the multiplication and division problems.

Now answer the following questions using complete sentences.

1. Where was Sarah when she was watching the clock? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Where was the writer going that night and with whom? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 3.

What meal would the writer have that evening? ___________________________________________________________________________________

Read the following passage carefully.

It was a terribly hot day in the jungle. All the birds and beasts were exhausted from the heat and curled up to sleep. The silence was broken only by an occasional snapping of twigs and the flapping of soft-feathered wings when a parrot nearly slipped off its perch in a tall tree.

The only creature who couldn’t sleep was a small brown monkey who was very thirsty indeed.

He wandered on all fours through the lush green undergrowth in the hope of finding a small puddle. Every now and then he stopped and raised himself on his back legs, peering this way and that for a tell-tale sparkle of sunlight on water. But it was useless, for it had been a very long, hot, dry summer.

At last his search led him to the edge of the dark, green jungle, to the place where the desert begins. He stopped

again, blinking into the strong sunlight. But he knew there was no chance at all of finding cool water in the desert.

Circle the letter beside the correct answer to Questions 1 to 5.

Which word in the passage may be replaced by the word ‘looking’?

________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Comparing Adverbs

Adverbs can be used to compare how actions are performed. For example, Jack climbed high in the tree. Tommy climbed higher but Justin climbed highest.

High, higher and highest are adverbs comparing how far up the boys climbed. As with adjectives we use comparative and superlative forms to compare how an action is done.

NATION WORKBOOK

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2022.

We use the comparative degree to compare one action to another and the superlative degree to compare one action to more than two actions.

Read the following passage carefully.

One of the greatest assets a human possesses is the ability to smile. Not only is it a great way to make yourself stand out by looking attractive but it helps your body to function better by improving your health and reducing your stress level.

Humans are naturally drawn to people who smile. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away but a smile draws them in. The attraction is based on the fact that a person who is smiling is in a good mood. When someone is smiling they brighten up the room, change the moods of others and make things happier. For this reason, people say that a smile is contagious.

Doctors believe that smiling impacts positively on a person’s health. The immune system in our bodies protects us from ailments. When the body is relaxed the immune system functions better thus reducing the risk of contracting diseases.

They also noted that when you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure.

People take drugs to feel good. However, studies have shown that when you smile your body releases endorphins which are natural pain-killers found in the brain. These endorphins make you feel good. It is for this reason smiling is considered a natural drug.

The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger and more confident. It is the perfect recipe to make us more approachable. Life is good, so smile and live a stress-free life.

THE RELATIVE PRONOUN The relative pronoun joins two parts of a sentence. It stands in one part for a noun or pronoun mentioned in the other part and refers to that noun or pronoun. The word to which it refers is called the Antecedent.

These are all relative pronouns: NATION WORKBOOK

18

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2022.

who

whoever

whom

whomever

which

whichever

that

They link statements to the noun or pronoun to which they refer. The relative pronoun is placed close to the noun or pronoun to which it refers

For example: I baked that pie which you are eating. (antecedent)

(relative pronoun referring to pie)

EXERCISE

Underline the relative pronouns in the following sentences. Circle the antecedent.

1.

The lady whom we invited is our cousin.

2. I visited my grandparents who live in the country.

3.

My best friend bought a watch which was on sale at a great reduction.

4. The visitor whom we were expecting was very punctual.

5. My greedy brother ate all the pie that was in the fridge.

6. We collected all the information which we needed for the project.

7.

The businessman whom we met recently advised us on our venture.

8. That is the little boy whose bike was stolen.

USING WHO and WHOM It is quite easy to decide whether who or whom is required to complete a sentence.

These two words are usually relative pronouns. Sometimes they, at the same time, behave as conjunctions since they do the work of joining.

The pronouns who and whom are used when referring to persons and take the same number as the noun they represent.

A. Who is generally used as a subject.

For example:

(Who, Whom) wrote that interesting story? (A subject is needed -use who)

B. Whom is used as an object pronoun.

For example: I am not sure (who, whom) you saw.

The sentence may be looked at as two separate sentences which are to be joined.

I am not sure.

You saw ____________.

The first sentence is complete. The second sentence has a subject and a verb but no object.

An object is needed, so choose the object pronoun whom.

NATION WORKBOOK

19

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2022.

When choosing who or whom remember to use the rule about the preposition.

Choose who or whom to complete each sentence.

1. (Who, Whom) is your teacher?

2. From (who, whom) did you get the information?

3. Kaisean is a boy (who, whom) can run very quickly.

4. Can you tell me (who, whom) took the last fishcake?

5. I am trying to find a lady (whom, who) helped me fix my tyre.

6. You said that there was someone (who, whom) would help 7. To (who, whom) should I give this last slice of cake?

8. (Who, Whom) do we ask for permission to leave the school?

9. The child (who, whom) lives next door is always complaining.

10. This is the lady with (who, whom) I was staying.

Joining sentences using who and whom.

Look at these two sentences: The women are volunteers.

The women looked after the orphans.

When joined, they become

The women who are volunteers, looked after the orphans.

Remember - when joining the sentences, first determine whether a subject or object is needed.

EXERCISE

Join these sentences using the pronouns who or whom.

1.

The man was trapped in the building. The man lost his leg.

______________________________________________________________________________ 2. This is the lady. I met the lady at the funeral. ______________________________________________________________________________ 3.

Mr. Alleyne is a man. Mr Alleyne can complete any difficult task.

Malicia was pulled from the rubble. ______________________________________________________________________________ 5. I think this is the girl. The dog bit the girl. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6. The student loves to read. The student writes lovely stories. ______________________________________________________________________________ Some Errors To Avoid There are some commonly-made errors which can be easily avoided. Becoming familiar with the rules for correct usage will definitely help to avoid these pitfalls.

A. Some words maintain their singular forms and must be followed by verbs in the singular.

For example:

bread

machinery

damage

Much damage was done by the wind.

advice

B. Phrases such as each of, one of, all of, everyone must be followed by adjectives of a similar

number.

For example: All of the boys took care of their gear.

Each of the girls brought her lunch.

C. When a word ending with -ing is used as a noun (gerund), use an adjective before it, not a pronoun.

For example: There is no use in his crying over that mistake.

D. Items made up of two parts (pliers, tongs, shears, spectacles) are followed by a plural verb.

For example: E.

The spectacles are mine.

(However, say A pair of spectacles was found)

Between is used for two persons or groups.

For example:

Share the sweets between you and your friend.

Among is used for more than two persons or groups.

For example: F.

Share the sweets among the ten boys.

Do not interchange in and into.

In denotes position or rest inside something.

For example:

The cat is in the bag.

Into denotes movement or direction towards the inside if something.

RATIO Do you know what is a ratio?

NATION WORKBOOK

(Pronounce the word ray-show ) 24

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2022.

We can use our knowledge of fractions to help us work with ratio.

A ratio is simply a way of comparing numbers or quantities that are similar.

If a number is said to be 3 times another number, or if your bag is three times as heavy as mine, or Alex is twice as tall his brother, numbers or quantities are being compared.

In the box there are 4 blue masks and 1 black mask.

The ratio of black mask to blue mask is 1 to 5, written as 1:5 The two dots (colon) are read as “to”, and means divided by except that the vinculum (-) is missing. A ratio can also be written as a fraction.

1 black mask (the first term) – numerator

4 blue masks (the second term) - denominator

Therefore the ratio of black masks to blue masks is 1:4 or 1/4 The ratio of blue masks to black masks is 4:1 or 4/1 The ratio of black masks to all the masks is 1:5 or 1/5 The ratio of blue masks to all the masks is 4: 5 or 4/5 This order the item listed is very important. Whichever item is mentioned first, its quantity or number is written first.

There are 16 apples and 9 oranges on a tray. (a) Express the ratio of apples to oranges (using all three formats).

16 to 9

16:9

16/9

(b) Look at the tray again. Express the ratio of oranges to apples.

9:16

9/16

9 to 16

The numbers were the same in each exercise above, but the order in which they were listed was different, based on the order in which the elements of the ratio were expressed.
