SAMPLE
ORANGES EVERYWHERE
Bentley was wandering through the trees. The air smelled of oranges all around him. The
weather was perfect, and the oranges were growing bigger by the day. He liked to walk
through the groves, and loved the smell of the oranges, but he didn’t like that he and his
family ate oranges all the time. Sometimes, he wanted to avoid them for weeks at a time.
He wished his family could grow other things, like corn, or the ingredients for his favorite
dip that his mom made. His mouth watered just thinking about his favorite dip. Yes, those
ingredients would be better than oranges all the time. “Mom, why do we have to have
oranges almost every day?” Bentley asked. “Well, since we grow them, there are plenty
around,” his mom replied. “Does every kid eat as many oranges as we do?” he asked.
“No, definitely not. There are parts of the country and parts of the world that don’t have
the type of weather that oranges grow in. We’re actually very lucky!” “So some kids
don’t eat oranges at all?”

4|G5 ENGLISH STUDY MATERIAL

“We actually send oranges all over the world, so that if people can’t grow their own
oranges, they can still buy and eat them,” said Mom. “Hmmm… so people move foods
all over the world? Are there foods that I like that don’t grow here?” “There is an
ingredient in the dip you like. Artichokes do not grow well here, so they have to be sent
from somewhere where they grow well,” replied Mom. “I never knew!” exclaimed
Bentley. “What else moves around like food?” Plenty of things! The factories that make
your favorite toys are not all in our little town here. The companies make the toys then
send the toys to other places. So food and products move from where they can be grown
or made easily to places where they can’t be grown or made easily. People move
themselves, too. Maybe they’re looking for a specific job that isn’t around where they
live, or they want to be closer to their families, or they just want a change of scenery.”
“Wow! I never thought about where all of our food and toys come from, or about people
moving far away. It’s very interesting,” Bentley said.“It sure is. I’m glad you asked. I’m
sorry you get tired of eating oranges all the time, but I hope now it makes sense why we
do.” “Yes, but I still might take a break from them every once in a while. Maybe I’ll try
to grow my own artichokes!” Bentley replied. Mom laughed and said, “Sure, honey. Now
let’s go make dinner.”
Answer the following question
1. Describe Bentley’s character. What evidence from the text helps you describe
her?
Ans: Bentley is inquisitive. This is evidenced by the questions he asks his mom about
how food, and other things, moves around the world.
2. What does “avoid” mean in the first paragraph? How do you know?
Ans: Avoid means keep away from or stop oneself from doing something. Bentley
wanted to stop eating oranges all the time.
3. Why do foods get sent different places around the country and the world?
Ans: Food is sent to different places to give people the variety of foods they like to eat.

4. Do you think Bentley will be able to grow his own artichokes? Why or why not?
5|G5 ENGLISH STUDY MATERIAL
 Ans: Probably not, as his mom told him that artichokes don’t grow very well where they
live.

What is a proper noun?
Proper nouns are the names of specific people and places. These nouns also refer to the
names of the days of weeks and months, and also the various names for religions,
organizations, institution, etc. Proper nouns basically refer to the names that are specific

WORKSHEET 6- SIMPLE PAST TENSE

LEARNING OUTCOME:
Understanding the tenses and using it at the appropriate places.
OBJECTIVE
Understand simple past tense
1. how to form simple past tense for regular verbs
2. how to recognize and understand the simple past tense
3. how to pronounce and spell the past tense of regular verbs

Explanation:
Verbs have different forms, called tenses. The tense of a verb tells us when the action
happens. We use the simple past tense to talk about things that happened in the past.
Examples:
The children visited the zoo last week.
The plane landed a few minutes ago.
Jerry dried his clothes in the sun.
Regular Verbs
For most verbs, the simple past tense is created by adding a d, ed or ied at the end of the
word. These are called regular verbs. There are also irregular verbs which do not follow
this pattern. The following are some of the rules for regular verbs. For verbs ending
in e add a d.

19 | G 5 E N G L I S H S T U D Y M A T E R I A L
For verbs ending in (consonant)+y, change y, to I, and add ed.
For verbs that are one syllable and ending in (vowel)+(consonant) (but not y or w),
double the consonant and then add ed.
For other verbs, just add ed.

LEARNING OUTCOME:
 Students will be able to identify and use adverbs as modifiers to express degree, and
frequency

What is Adverb?

an adverb describes actions, and it describes other descriptive words.
1) She sings loudly.

1. Declarative sentences make a statement. They tell us something. They give us
information, and they normally end with a full-stop/period. The usual word order
for the declarative sentence is: subject + verb. Declarative sentences can
be positive or negative. Look at these examples:

positive negative

I like coffee. I do not like coffee.

We watched TV last night. We did not watch TV last night.

38 | G 5 E N G L I S H S T U D Y M A T E R I A L
 2. Interrogative sentences ask a question. They ask us something. They want information,
and they always end with a question mark. The usual word order for the
interrogative sentence is:

 (wh-word +) auxiliary + subject + verb..

Interrogative sentences can be positive or negative. Look at these examples:

positive negative

Do you like coffee? Don't you like coffee?

[Link] sentences give a command. They tell us to do something, and they end with a
full-stop/period (.) or exclamation mark/point (!). The usual word order for the imperative
sentence is:

Imperative sentences can be positive or negative. Look at these examples:

Topic 14 - QUESTION TAGS
LEARNING OUTCOME:
 Students will be able to understand and use question tags appropriately.

Question tags are short questions at the end of statements.

They are mainly used in speech when we want to:

 confirm that something is true or not, or

 to encourage a reply from the person we are speaking to.

Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the
appropriate subject.

A positive statement is followed by a negative question tag.

 Jack is from Spain, isn't he?

 Mary can speak English, can't she?

A negative statement is followed by a positive question tag.

 They aren't funny, are they?

 He shouldn't say things like that, should he?

When the verb in the main sentence is in the present simple we form the question tag with do
/ does.

 You play the guitar, don't you?

 Alison likes tennis, doesn't she?

If the verb is in the simple past we use did.

 They went to the cinema, didn't they?

 She studied in New Zealand, didn't she?

When the statement contains a word with a negative meaning, the question tag needs to
be positive

Topic 15 - PRONOUNS
LEARNING OUTCOME:
 Students will be able to understand and demonstrative pronouns , interrogative
pronouns and reflexive pronouns appropriately in a sentence.
DEFINITION
What is a pronoun?
 A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun or noun phrase.
 Pronouns refer to either a noun that has already been mentioned or to a noun that
does not need to be named specifically.
 Like nouns, personal pronouns can function as either the subject of a verb or the
object of a verb or preposition:
Example: "She likes him, but he loves her."
 Most of the personal pronouns have different subject and object forms:

Types of pronouns
1. Interrogative

2. Demonstrative
45 | G 5 E N G L I S H S T U D Y M A T E R I A L
 3. Reflexive

1. The interrogative pronouns—particularly what, which, who, whom, and whose—

introduce questions for which a noun is the answer.

[Link] pronouns refer back to the subject of a sentence or clause and are formed
by adding -self or -selves to a personal pronoun or possessive adjective, as
in myself, herself, ourselves, and itself.

3. The four demonstrative pronouns—this, that, these, and those—distinguish the

person or thing being referred to from other people or things; they are identical to
the demonstrative adjectives.
SOLVED EXAMPLES

1. I’m always talking to myself. – reflexive pronoun

2. What do you want for lunch? - interrogative pronoun

3. This is some of the nicest weather we’ve had lately. - demonstrative pronoun
