💡 Exam Tips
• Use their for possession, there for place, and they’re as the short form of they are.
• Remember that “their days” is a phrase, not a complete sentence; use it in a full sentence.
• Days of the week and names of people begin with capital letters: Monday, Friday, Osman and Oyshi.
• Use today for the present day, yesterday for the past day, and tomorrow for the next day.
• Learn common opposites: village–city, quiet–busy, wet–dry, rain–sunshine, friend–enemy.
• Read the whole sentence before choosing a word, because context gives the correct meaning.
• Check singular and plural forms carefully: child–children, day–days, city–cities.
• Use simple present tense for regular activities: They go to school. The farmer works in the field.
