What grammar is taught in 2nd grade?

The Common Core language standards for grade 2 name collective nouns (L.2.1a), irregular plurals (L.2.1b), reflexive pronouns (L.2.1c), the irregular past tense (L.2.1d), adjectives and adverbs (L.2.1e) and apostrophes (L.2.2c). The grade on this page is our suggestion.

What is a collective noun?

A collective noun names a group as one thing: a herd of cows, a swarm of bees, a deck of cards, a crew of sailors.

Why are wrong choices such as sitted and mouses printed?

They are the forms a child makes by adding -ed or -s to everything. Circling sat beside sitted, or mice beside mouses, sets the irregular form apart from the rule.
