21. Pre-Writing 2: Formula TiTa
People, objects, plants, animals, transport, fruits and vegetables, food and drinks are
classified under the part of speech that is called Nouns. We have learned that nouns can
be singular or plural.
We can use the structure ‘There is’ and ‘There are’ to write sentences about nouns. Let’s
call the structure Formula TiTa.
Example:
1. There is a woman in the picture.
2. There are two boys in the picture.
3. There is a girl in the picture.
4. There is a baby in the picture.
5. There are four men in the picture.
6. There is a boat in the picture.
7. There are three chickens in the picture.
8. There is a box in the picture.
9. There are two rolls of mats in the picture.
10. There are two bundles of clothes in the picture.
11. There is a box in the picture.

22. Let’s try to write!
Write as many sentences as you can for the pictures below, using Formula TiTa. Write the

29

31. Before we start writing, let’s practice some basic grammar items first.
I. Articles: a, an
Notes:
The article ‘a’ and ‘an’ means ‘one’.
The article ‘a’ is placed before a word that starts with the consonant sound.
Example: a boy, a girl, a cat, a rabbit
The article ‘an’ is placed before a word that starts with the vowel sound.
Example: an old man, an old woman, an orange, an apple
Exercise: Fill in the blanks with ‘a’ or ‘an’.
______ computer
______ boy
______ cat
______ umbrella
______ Eskimo
______ elephant
______ tiger
______ pyramid
______ tall boy
______ old woman
______ old man
______ Iban boy
______ experiment
______ apple
______ orange
______ small umbrella
______ igloo
______ architect
______ taxi
______ car
______ office
30

32. II. Be Verb
Examples of be verbs are ‘is’ and ‘are’.
The verb ‘is’ is placed after a singular subject.
Example: A boy is playing football.
The verb ‘are’ is placed after a plural subject.
Example: Several boys are playing football.
Exercise: Fill in the blanks with ‘is’ or ‘are’.
1. Some women _______ collecting rubbish.
2. A man ______ dumping garbage into the drain.
3. A boy ______ digging a hole.
4. Several boys _______ cleaning the blackboard.
5. Some pupils ________ sweeping the floor.
6. Three children ________ wiping the windows.
7. A woman _______ asking her worker to clean the stall.
8. A man _______ buying some fish at the stall.
9. A fishmonger _______ selling some fish at the stall.
10. A gardener ________ trimming the hedge.

18. Many children _______ playing in the park.
19. Several doctors ________ treating the patients.
20. Puan Salwa and her maid _______ mopping the kitchen floor.
31

33. III. Verb + ing
We add the suffix ‘-ing’ to root verbs when we want to write sentences using Continuous
Tense. When the verbs with the suffix ‘-ing’ is put after the ‘be verbs’ (‘is’ or ‘are’), it will
become Present Continuous Tense.
When do we use Present Continuous Tense? We use Present Continuous Tense when we
want to write about something that is happening now, at this moment.
It is best to use Present Continuous Tense when writing sentences for Section A of UPSR
Paper 2.
For most verbs, we can directly add the suffix ‘-ing’ at the end.
Examples: play – playing, read – reading, sleep – sleeping
For verbs that end with the letter ‘e’, we have to omit the letter ‘e’ first before adding
the suffix ‘-ing’.
Examples: write – writing, arrange – arranging, bake – baking
Sometimes, we have to double the final letters of some verbs before we can add the
suffix ‘-ing’ at the end.
Examples: run – running, swim – swimming, put – putting
The best way to identify which rule to apply when adding the suffix ‘-ing’ at the end of
verbs is by reading a lot of English books, and by doing a lot of grammar practices.
32

34. Exercise: Add the suffix ‘-ing’ at the end of the verbs. Find the meaning of each verb in
the dictionary. Write it down in your vocabulary book.

42. Complex Sentences: Describe the ‘Subject’
Study the following examples:
Example 1
Sentence 1:

Sentence 2:
The man who is wearing spectacles is talking on the phone.
Example 2
Sentence 1:
A woman is smiling.
Sentence 2:
The woman who is wearing a scarf and baju kurung is smiling.
Sentences 2 in both examples above are complex sentences. We can write complex
sentences by adding a clause that describes the subject in the sentence. Note that the
article ‘a’ is changed to ‘the’. When a subject is described, it becomes specific.
The structure:
The Subject who is (description) is verb+ing
are are
41

Homework: Find as many adjectives as you can. List the adjectives in your vocabulary book.
Enrichment: Read about positive adjectives, comparative adjectives and superlative
adjectives. Make a scrap book and present your work to the class.
51

53. Back to writing!
Now, how do we use adjectives in our writing? There are three simple ways.
I. Add appropriate adjectives before any nouns in the sentence.
Example 1:
Sentence 1:
There are several tables at the library.
Sentence 2:
There are several big tables at the spacious
library.
(big – besar, spacious – luas)
In the example above, the adjective ‘big’ is added before the noun ‘tables’, and the
adjective ‘spacious’ is added before the noun ‘library’.
Example 2:
Sentence 1:
A few pupils are reading books.
Sentence 2:
A few hardworking pupils are reading books.
(hardworking – rajin)
In this example, the adjective ‘hardworking’ is added before the noun ‘pupils’ to describe
the pupils in the picture.
52

54. Practice: Add appropriate adjectives to the nouns in the sentences below.
A woman is standing on a chair.
(Adjectives: frightened – takut, small – kecil)
A frightened woman is standing on a small chair.
A boy is laughing at the woman.
(Adjective: mischievous – nakal)
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
A girl is looking at the kitchen floor.
(Adjective: curious – ingin tahu, messy - berterabur)
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
A mouse is standing beside a box.
(Adjective: tiny – kecil, rectangular – berbentuk segiempat tepat)
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
53

55. There are three glasses on the table.
(Adjectives: clear – jernih, small - kecil)
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
There are two cans of paint on the piece of newspaper.
(Adjectives: large – besar, rectangular – berbentuk segiempat)
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
A boy is painting a hibiscus on the wall.
(Adjectives: creative – kreatif, beautiful - cantik)
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
A boy is painting a wau on the wall.
(Adjectives: artistic – berjiwa seni, interesting - menarik)
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
54

56. II. Write sentences to describe the people in the picture using appropriate adjectives.
Examples:
The pupils are hardworking.
The woman is frightened.
The boys are artistic.
The children are diligent.
The family is busy.
55

57. III. Write sentences to describe the nouns in the picture (the place, objects, plants,
animals, etc) using appropriate adjectives.
Examples:
The library is spacious.
The tables are big.
kitchen
The kitchen floor is messy.
The mouse is tiny.
The box is rectangular.
The durians are delicious.
The stall umbrella is huge.
The baskets are full.

58. Practice!
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate adjectives.
The family is _______________.

The waterfall is _________________.
The boys are _______________.
The girl is _____________.
The bamboo plants are _________________.
The painters are _______________.

57

59. Spice it up again! Use adverbs.
Adjectives describe nouns. Adjectives tell us how someone or something looks like or
feels like.
Adverbs describe verbs. Adverbs tell us how something is being done.
Adjectives are usually placed before nouns.
Adverbs are usually placed before or after verbs.
Examples:
Sentence 1: The pupils are studying.
(How?)
Sentence 2: The pupils are studying diligently.
(diligently – dengan tekunnya)
Sentence 1: The boy is laughing.
(How?)
Sentence 2: The boy is laughing mischievously.
(mischiveously – dengan nakalnya)
Sentence 1: The women are working.
(How?)
Sentence 2: The women are working busily.
(busily – dengan sibuknya)
