• Use “a” before a singular countable noun: a red rose, a blue kite, a small pot.

• Remember that adjectives usually come before nouns: a fat cow, a thin cow, a big tree.

• For questions about signs, answer in complete sentences: “The red sign tells a car to stop.”

• Revise opposite words carefully because size questions often ask for pairs such as big and small.
