Form 5 Term IV Checking Pre-Test is a test to assess your understanding of the pronoun and the conditional type i in English. Let's go through each question step by step.

Question 1:
If Helen (work) hard, she (pass) her exam.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct verb forms in the brackets. In the first part of the sentence, we have "If Helen (work) hard." We need to use the present simple form of the verb "work" here because it is a conditional statement. Therefore, it should be "works."

In the second part of the sentence, we have "she (pass) her exam." We need to use the future simple form of the verb "pass" here because it is a prediction for the future based on the condition mentioned in the first part of the sentence. Therefore, it should be "will pass."

The completed sentence will be: If Helen works hard, she will pass her exam.

Question 2:
If it (rain), we (go) into the shop.

This question follows the same pattern as the previous one. In the first part of the sentence, we have "If it (rain)." Again, we need to use the present simple form of the verb "rain" because it is a conditional statement. Therefore, it should be "rains."

In the second part of the sentence, we have "we (go) into the shop." We need to use the future simple form of the verb "go" here because it is a prediction for the future based on the condition mentioned in the first part of the sentence. Therefore, it should be "will go."

The completed sentence will be: If it rains, we will go into the shop.

Question 3:
If Mary (not/practice) her English, she (not/speak) well.

In this question, the first part of the sentence states a condition, and the second part provides a result based on that condition. In the first part, we have "If Mary (not/practice) her English." Here, we need to use the present simple form of the verb "practice" because it is a conditional statement. The negative form of "practice" is "does not practice" or "doesn't practice."

In the second part of the sentence, we have "she (not/speak) well." We need to use the present simple form of the verb "speak" to express a general truth or fact. The negative form of "speak" is "does not speak" or "doesn't speak."

The completed sentence will be: If Mary doesn't practice her English, she doesn't speak well.

Question 4:
If George (come) late, the teacher (be) angry.

Here, the first part of the sentence states a condition, and the second part provides a result based on that condition. In the first part, we have "If George (come) late." We need to use the present simple form of the verb "come" because it is a conditional statement. Therefore, it should be "comes."

In the second part of the sentence, we have "the teacher (be) angry." We need to use the future simple form of the verb "be" here to express a prediction for the future based on the condition mentioned in the first part of the sentence. Therefore, it should be "will be."

The completed sentence will be: If George comes late, the teacher will be angry.

Question 5:
1 (tell) Joe your news if I (see) him tomorrow.

In this question, we have an incomplete sentence where you need to choose the correct pronouns to fill in the gaps. Let's break it down.

The first part of the sentence states "1 (tell) Joe your news." Here, we need to choose the correct pronoun to address Joe. The correct pronoun is "you." Therefore, it should be "Tell Joe your news."

In the second part of the sentence, we have "if I (see) him tomorrow." This is a conditional statement where the speaker is talking about a possibility in the future. Here, we need to choose the correct pronoun to refer to Joe. The correct pronoun is "him." Therefore, it should be "if I see him tomorrow."

The completed sentence will be: Tell Joe your news if I see him tomorrow.

Moving on to the next part of the test, we have to choose the correct pronouns:

Question II:
1. This is my book and that is (mine/l/me).

To choose the correct pronoun, we need to determine whether it is possessive or subjective. In this sentence, we are referring to something that belongs to someone, so we need a possessive pronoun. The correct pronoun is "mine." Therefore, it should be "that is mine."

2. Where is (they/theirs/their) school?

In this sentence, we are referring to the school belonging to a group of people. Again, we need a possessive pronoun. The correct pronoun is "their." Therefore, it should be "where is their school?"

3. They are hers. Give (they/them/their) to (her/she/hers).

Here, we are referring to pronouns that receive the action. In the first part, "Give (they/them/their)" we need an object pronoun. The correct pronoun is "them." Therefore, it should be "Give them."

In the second part, "to (her/she/hers)," we need to choose the correct pronoun to refer to someone who is receiving the object. The correct pronoun is "her." Therefore, it should be "Give them to her."

4. I know Mr. Watson, but I don't know (his/he/him) wife.

In this sentence, we are referring to someone's wife. We need to choose the correct pronoun that shows possession. The correct pronoun is "his." Therefore, it should be "I know Mr. Watson, but I don't know his wife."

5. This house belongs to our family. It is (our/us/ours).

Here, we are referring to something that belongs to us. We need a possessive pronoun. The correct pronoun is "ours." Therefore, it should be "It is ours."
