Example year 5 English quiz questions

Change to the passive voice: The chef cooked the soup.The soup was cooked by the chef. The object becomes the subject, and the verb takes the past participle with was.

True or false: the modal verb might shows that something is possible.True. Modal verbs like might, could and must express possibility, ability or obligation alongside a main verb.
