Answer guide · AC9EFLA06

  1. The bird sings.
  2. Change dog to cat: The cat sleeps.
  3. For example, ‘The child jumps.’ Accept a meaningful spoken sentence matched by the drawing.
  4. ‘The frog’ tells who; ‘hops’ tells the action.

If help is needed: A row of familiar words does not automatically make a meaningful sentence. Say the complete message and check that the words work together.
