Model Answer Structure (Simple Present Tense):

The kitchen is very clean.

*Compare your sentences above to check your word order (Subject + is/are + Adjective) and use of the Simple Present tense.*

2. Opposites and Negatives: Transformation Practice 🔄

2. The tea was good. → The tea was not...

3. She is happy. → She is not...

Write a short story (5-6 sentences). Use the Simple Past or Simple Present tense. You must use one adjective from each group below:

1. Appearance: little or long or blue

2. Personality: shy or brave or curious

3. Object: dirty or white

Model Story Example:

Today, I saw a little cat. Its eyes were blue. At first, it was very shy. It looked at a man with dirty shoes. Then, the cat became brave. The man gave the cat a white cloth to play with.
