Year 5 Grammar C Exercises: Answers
Exercise 1.1 C Identifying pronouns*
Kasienka has a special magnet that can find doughnuts. Whenever she wants a doughnut,
she just waves the magnet around. If any doughnuts are nearby, you can be sure that the
magnet will find them. Kasienka wishes that the magnet could also find chips, but it can’t. I
have a magnet too, but mine can find both chips and doughnuts. Kasienka thinks that mine
is better than hers, and she’s right. The teacher, who hates magnets, is always taking ours
away from us. Magnets that can only find metal stuff are boring.
There are 15 pronouns – have you found them all?
When the aliens arrived, they used a giant magnet to suck up all the buildings.
They took everything except for the pyramids and the igloos, which are made of stone and
ice. Now we wish we’d made all the buildings out of paper, but most of ours had metal in
them. Anything that’s made of metal is gone now. You have to ride a wooden bike. You have
to eat with a plastic spoon. You have to catch a paper train, which is usually late. I hope they
bring the metal back soon, because I want to make trumpets when I grow up. “At least
we’ve still got all the doughnuts!” said Kasienka.
There are 17 pronouns – have you found them all?
Whose is this dinosaur magnet? Mine, of course! Some people say it’s dangerous, which
makes sense. Most people don’t want to go anywhere near dinosaurs. I’m not scared
though, so I use the dinosaur magnet to find dinosaurs all the time. Magnets that can find
dinosaurs are very rare – I’m the only person who has one. If you had one, would you use
yours to find dinosaurs, or would you be too scared?
There are 11 pronouns – have you found them all?
“Whoah!” shouted the captain, “that’s the biggest magnet I’ve ever seen!” Most ships are
made of metal, so when captains see giant magnets, they get scared. “In the olden days,
ships were made of wood,” said the captain, “so we weren’t afraid of giant magnets back
then.” The captain thought about the old-fashioned ships that were made of wood, and she
wished that hers was made of wood too. Just in the nick of time, she had a brilliant idea.
“The lifeboats are made of wood!” she shouted. All the sailors jumped into the lifeboats as
the ship crashed into the magnet, which was red and spiky.
There are 10 pronouns – have you found them all?
*Sometimes words like ‘his’ are possessive pronouns, e.g. the book was his.
Sometimes they are possessive determiners, e.g. It was his book. It is not necessary
to make this distinction with children.
NB. it’s = it is, so the pronoun is its (no apostrophe as no missing letter)

Sentence
Marta is the one who taught me how to
skateboard.
You’ve broken Marta’s skateboard, so I’m
lending her mine.
If you want, you can lend her yours, which is
better than mine.
After we go skateboarding, you can come round
to ours for dinner.
Did you see the jump that Marta did?
It was the highest jump that I have ever seen her
do on a skateboard.
If you think you can do a jump that’s higher than
hers, have a go.
The place where we go skateboarding is getting
boring.

Exercise 1.5 C Identifying personal pronouns
1. Aron and Kasienka have a pet wolf. They take turns looking after the wolf – Kasienka
looks after it in the week, and Aron looks after it at weekends. Aron says he always feeds
the wolf jam doughnuts. Kasienka says she feeds it chocolate bars. The problem with the
wolf is that it’s always hungry and sometimes it eats people’s grandmas. Aron and Kasienka
are always saying, “We’re sorry about all the grandmas!”

2. Chloe has caught a snake driving her car. “What are you doing?” she says.
The snake says that it is sorry – it just wanted to have a go. “Hmm,” says Chloe, “I’m not
sure if snakes can drive cars.” Chloe and the snake discuss the car for quite a while. In the
end they agree that the snake can borrow the car if it doesn’t bite Chloe for at least a
month. “So, do we have a deal?” Chloe asks the snake. “Deal!” shouts the snake, as it

4. Piotr says that he saw a robot in town and it had a laser for a face. His mum doesn’t
believe him. “Robots don’t exist!” she says, as robots creep in through the window. “You
must have imagined it!” she says, as robots start eating the TV. But Piotr knows what he
saw: robots! They are all over the place. They are eating the TV and the toaster. Just
because Piotr’s mum doesn’t believe in them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Stangely, the
robots say that they don’t believe in Piotr’s mum.

5. Ella hid from the pirates under a barrel. She knew that if she made a sound, they’d find
her. The parrot nearly found her, but she distracted it by feeding it a biscuit. “If they find

pirates were searching high and low. “We’ll make her walk the plank!” they sang.

6. Ellis was in a pod drifting through space. He looked at the stars and wondered which one
was the Sun. “How will I get home?” he said. “Sir, there isn’t enough fuel,” said the
computer. Ellis turned it off because it was distracting him. He missed his cats, and he hoped
they were being looked after. Ellis’s crew had set out six months ago on a mission to Mars.

through space! Karla shouted to Sunil for help, but he was chatting on his radio. Luckily for
Karla, the moon has lots of craters on its surface. She hid in one of the craters and waited

1. If you’re scared of going into space, you’d better not sit next to Tammy. She never sits still
during blast-off, which is really annoying. You should also watch out for Doug. Last time he
forgot to bring a laser, so he kept borrowing mine. The person who you should sit next to is
Christine. She sits quietly and she never forgets things. When the countdown starts, just
close your eyes and think about Jupiter. You may have been to Mars, but Jupiter’s a

2. The only badger that plays the drums lives in my grandma’s garden. He keeps her awake
all night with his drumming, which is driving her mad. Sometimes he whacks a cymbal for
half an hour; sometimes he headbutts the snare drum for twenty minutes. We tried to get
him to stop drumming at night for the people who are trying to sleep. He just laughed and
starting drumming. We tried to tell him that it’s not his garden, but badgers don’t care if the
garden belongs to someone’s grandma. In the end, they agreed that he would stop his
drumming by nine o’clock. I hope he keeps to the deal.

birds and trees, which aren’t as exciting. I’m going to be the first person who writes poems
about video games and TV. My friend Alex writes poems about suits of armour, and he hides
them in a drawer. A friend of mine, Kasienka says her poems are all about robots, but
sometimes she also writes about helicopters. Once I read a poem about Batman, but it

a race, so we set up a track in the park. A man from the council came and said the race
wasn’t safe, but he ran off when he saw the cheetah, which is the fastest animal on land. In
the end,it was a draw, which meant that Ali’s mum’s car is as fast as a cheetah. Now Ali tells
everyone about her mum’s car, and the cheetah avoids having races. People often laugh
when they see the cheetah driving its car, but I don’t think it’s funny.

seen him driving his hovercraft about. If I had one, I’d drive it to Cuba to listen to jazz music
and eat fresh coconuts. Where would you go in your hovercraft? I’ve been trying to
persuade my dad to swap his bike for a hovercraft, but he says he doesn’t want to. He says a

*Sometimes words like ‘his’ are possessive pronouns, e.g. the book was his. Sometimes
they are, strictly, possessive determiners, i.e. possessive pronouns acting as adjectives, e.g.
It was his book. It is not necessary to make this distinction with children.
Exercise 2.1 C – Adjectives
1. I can still remember the time I saw a massive piano fall down a staircase. There were
wooden splinters and broken keys all over the place. The worst thing was the terrible noise
it made as it crashed onto the hard floor at the bottom of the stairs. Lots of silly people
blamed me, because I shouldn’t have been playing such a risky game of ‘catch the piano’.
But the game was my uncle Amir’s bright idea. He said he was furious because he loved the
old piano. I’m going to cheer him up by buying him a flashy new keyboard that has red lights
on and can make loads of weird beeps.
2. The first thing you need to know about trumpets is that they make the worst noise you
can imagine. Everyone laughs at the poor trumpet players as they walk around smoky old
towns looking for something called a ‘gig’. A gig is where everyone pays you to play your
favourite songs on a tiny trumpet until they get bored. The second thing you need to know
about trumpets is that sometimes someone can use a rusty and battered trumpet to make a
brilliant noise. That happened a lot in the old days, but it doesn’t happen much in modern
times.
3. What’s better than a boring piano? A laser-piano. What’s better than a boring trumpet? A
rocket-trumpet. You can make any boring instrument better by adding a green laser or a
huge rocket. My friend Gertrude has a shiny trombone covered in electric lights and silver
spikes. She looks scary when she comes on stage riding a golden lion and carrying her rubyred xylophone.
4. What’s your favourite band? Once I saw an American jazz band playing on a massive boat.
And once I saw an Ethiopian disco band playing in a spooky cave. The best band I ever saw
were playing invisible drums in an ancient temple in Japan. I bought a cool T-shirt with the
band’s name on.
5. I used to think playing my oboe was boring. But that was before I realised you can play an
oboe any old way you want. You can just make up the silliest tunes you can think of, and
write really ridiculous songs. You can hit your oboe with a big stick, so it sounds like a drum.
You can make horrible noises that only you enjoy. If anyone says that isn’t playing the oboe,
they’re wrong.
Exercise 2.2 C Adverbs
1. I was extremely surprised to see a ship full of Vikings in my Uncle’s pond. I always see
frogs there, and I usually see goldfish – but not Vikings. The Vikings were shouting
ferociously and rowing desperately to get out of the pond. The boat didn’t fit in the pond
properly, so the Vikings knew they looked really stupid. I kindly offered to help, but Vikings
are incredibly proud, so they wouldn’t let me. They’re probably still in the pond.
2. Some people think aliens built the pyramids, but I’m fairly sure that the Egyptians built
them. Why would aliens bravely fly a billion miles to do that? They clearly wouldn’t. I think
the pyramids were extremely difficult to build, and the workers who built them were
treated cruelly. Have you ever seen a photograph of them? I wonder how they got all those
stone unbelievably far off the ground! I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to build one, even if
I tried really hard.
3. Sometimes, when I’m really bored, I imagine Britain 1000 years ago. I’m not completely
sure what it was like, but I often imagine that there were more trees. It probably rained
quite heavily, just like it always does now. I think there were people riding horses quickly
along tracks, and people looking sadly out of castle windows. Sometimes I think there were
even bored children, quietly imagining Britain 1000 years before.
4. My teacher says that Hercules was absolutely the strongest person ever. I’m not so sure,
because Aisha from my class is really incredibly strong. She can easily lift up my bike with
one hand. I don’t even believe that Hercules actually existed. It was such a long time ago
that no one knows that he was definitely real. Aisha definitely exists. I can see her carefully
lifting up her desk and frighteningly throwing it out the window.
5. How can you discover a place if people already live there? Imagine if someone rudely
charged into your house and said, “I have discovered this house!” I would be really
annoyed! Imagine if they put up a horribly ugly flag and immediately named your house
after themselves. The very worst thing would be if they wrote a totally dreadful song about
how the house was completely empty when they annoyingly turned up.

Exercise 2.4 C Adverbials
1. Last week, my brother got himself into big trouble. For a start, he shouldn’t have stolen
those tins of tuna. He says he wanted to feed his shark without anyone’s help. In the
morning, the police had found out that he had a shark in the attic. Without a shark licence, I
don’t think he’ll be allowed to keep it.
2. It’s not easy to hide a shark from everyone. You need to keep it quiet all day. Without lots
of tins of tuna, that’s difficult. You also have to stop it making a mess in the attic. In ten
minutes, a shark can soak the attic and eat all the tuna. Last week, I thought a shark would
make a great pet. In the end, I realised it would’ve been better to get a cat. I can still hear
the shark sloshing around up there.
3. At the end of the day, a giant flesh-eating fish with 300 teeth doesn’t belong in an attic. In
the end, we had to take the shark to Cornwall and let it swim out to sea. We got a lift down
there with my grandma, who drives a massive lorry. I was sad to see the shark leave without
any tins of tuna. After that, we drove back to Birmingham for tea. I miss the shark, but I’m
glad it’s swimming with its flesh-eating, 300-teethed friends.
4. Since we released the shark, we’ve been considering getting a new pet. I suggested a
bear, but my brother disagreed. This morning, he suggested we get 1000 deadly scorpions. I
like deadly scorpions, but I don’t want to feed 1000 of them without gloves and a mask.
Between the two of us, we’ve agreed to get a small bear and 50 non-deadly scorpions. This
time, we won’t keep them in the attic. We’ll have to think of another way to hide them from
our parents. I hope bears and scorpions get on with each other. Before long, we’ll find out.

2. I did my homework unusually well, and I went to bed. I lay quietly in the very dark room
pretending to be asleep. I waited patiently until I was completely sure that everyone was
asleep. Then I silently crept into the kitchen to try and catch the very sneaky badgers. The
badgers had cunningly hidden, so I didn’t quite catch them. But I definitely will.
3. I immediately called the police when I noticed that my car had been stolen. It really was a
very lovely car. I always lock it, but the badgers who stole it can very craftily unlock cars. The
woman who sold me the car told me it was completely badger-proof, but I don’t quite
believe that.
4. I usually get the bus to school, but I sometimes get a lift from Kiran’s mum. Her car is
incredibly large and ridiculously comfy. My dad told me that in London children get the train
to school, and the trains go really quickly. If I’m quite late, I have to walk very fast so I don’t
get in trouble.
5. People don’t like it if you secretly paint their cars. I often paint people’s cars, and they are
tremendously angry. I usually find that people would rather paint their cars themselves. The
problem is that I paint very badly and not very carefully. I always do my best.

2. In London, there’s a chef who makes horrible pies out of porridge. Would you really eat a
porridge pie? She also makes fishy, slimy cakes and rock-hard pasta. Everyone thinks she’s
the very cleverest chef in all of London. Sometimes people come and politely ask her how
she gets her amazing ideas about pies. She quietly shrugs and carries on making a silly
lasagne.

3. The world’s biggest sandwich was made in Lebanon. It was incredibly long and absolutely
full of chicken. They made it a few years ago. After making the sandwich, I bet they didn’t

but I only have a single loaf of bread.

4. My sister says that if you get really hungry you can just order a massive pizza. I don’t

5. Ever since last year, everyone totally hates pasties! Some people cruelly ignore them;

burn a load of pasties last night. I hope people start liking pasties as soon as possible.
