Try these sample questions to test your SPM Bahasa Punjabi 9378 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1According to Lembaga Peperiksaan's SPM format for Bahasa Punjabi (9378), Bahagian A is titled:
A.Pemindahan Maklumat
B.Pengetahuan Sistem Bahasa
C.Karangan
D.Pemahaman Prosa atau Puisi
Explanation: The official instrument table labels Bahagian A as Pengetahuan Sistem Bahasa (30 marks). It tests grammar-system knowledge through limited written responses, not essays or chart transfer.
2Which language-system aspects does the LP format list under Pengetahuan Sistem Bahasa for Bahasa Punjabi?
A.Only calligraphy stroke order
B.Tatabahasa, morfologi, sintaksis, kosa kata and peribahasa
C.Only listening discrimination of tones
D.Only English translation drills
Explanation: Section 6.2.1 of the LP format booklet lists tatabahasa, morfologi, sintaksis, kosa kata and peribahasa as the Pengetahuan Sistem Bahasa aspects assessed.
3In the official sample Bahagian A error-correction task, candidates must:
A.Ignore underlined words and rewrite the whole essay
B.Identify wrong words, underline them and write the correct forms
C.Translate every sentence into Malay
D.Choose one essay title only
Explanation: The sample instructs candidates to find errors in the sentences, underline the wrong words and write the correct answers in the provided space — classic limited-response accuracy work.
4The Gurmukhi letter set traditionally taught as the basic 35 akhar centres on:
A.Only Arabic numerals
B.Primary consonant letters of the Gurmukhi alphabet
C.Only Latin digraphs
D.Only Shahmukhi dots
Explanation: Basic Punjabi literacy in Gurmukhi is organised around the 35 akhar (consonant letters). SPM Bahasa Punjabi writing depends on accurate Gurmukhi orthography.
5What does the Gurmukhi sign ੱ (addak) indicate?
A.Nasalisation of the preceding vowel only
B.Gemination (doubling) of the following consonant sound
C.A full stop
D.A question particle
Explanation: Addak (ੱ) marks gemination — the following consonant is doubled. Confusing it with nasal tippi/bindi is a common orthography error in accuracy items.
6Which pair correctly contrasts tippi/bindi nasalisation with addak?
A.Tippi/bindi nasalise; addak geminates the next consonant
B.Both always mean silence
C.Addak nasalises; tippi always means gemination
D.Neither appears in Gurmukhi
Explanation: Tippi (ੰ) and bindi (ਂ) mark nasalisation; addak (ੱ) marks consonant gemination. Mixing these signs creates spelling errors targeted in Bahagian A.
7In a simple present intransitive Punjabi sentence, the verb commonly agrees in gender/number with:
A.Only a remote object
B.The subject
C.Only the postposition ਨੇ
D.Never any noun
Explanation: Present-tense agreement typically tracks the subject's gender and number (for example ਮੁੰਡਾ ਖੇਡਦਾ ਹੈ vs ਕੁੜੀ ਖੇਡਦੀ ਹੈ). Agreement errors are classic Bahagian A targets.
8Which sentence shows correct masculine singular present agreement for 'the boy plays'?
A.ਮੁੰਡਾ ਖੇਡਦੀ ਹੈ
B.ਮੁੰਡਾ ਖੇਡਦਾ ਹੈ
C.ਮੁੰਡਾ ਖੇਡਦੇ ਹਨ
D.ਮੁੰਡੇ ਖੇਡਦੀ ਹੈ
Explanation: ਮੁੰਡਾ (m.sg) takes ਖੇਡਦਾ ਹੈ. Feminine or plural endings with a masculine singular subject are agreement faults.
9Which sentence correctly uses masculine plural present agreement for 'boys play'?
A.ਮੁੰਡੇ ਖੇਡਦਾ ਹੈ
B.ਮੁੰਡੇ ਖੇਡਦੇ ਹਨ
C.ਮੁੰਡੇ ਖੇਡਦੀ ਹੈ
D.ਮੁੰਡਾ ਖੇਡਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ
Explanation: Masculine plural subjects take forms like ਖੇਡਦੇ ਹਨ. Singular endings on plural subjects are errors examiners look for.
10In many perfective transitive Punjabi clauses, the agent is marked with which postposition?
A.ਵਿਚ
B.ਨੇ
C.ਤੋਂ only as agent
D.ਦਾ as agent
Explanation: The ergative postposition ਨੇ commonly marks the agent of perfective transitive verbs (for example ਰਾਮ ਨੇ ਫਲ ਖਾਧਾ). Omitting ਨੇ where required is a frequent accuracy error.

About the SPM Bahasa Punjabi 9378 Exam

SPM Bahasa Punjabi (subject code 9378) is an elective Punjabi-language subject of the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, administered by Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia. The LP format booklet (approved 21 February 2020; used from SPM 2021) states that Bahasa Punjabi is outside KSSM and has no teaching-learning curriculum of its own — the sukatan is determined by Lembaga Peperiksaan. The official instrument is a single Kemahiran Menulis paper. The Ministry of Education SPM 2025 timetable lists a 2-hour sitting for 9378. Official section weights are Bahagian A Pengetahuan Sistem Bahasa (30), Bahagian B Pemahaman Prosa atau Puisi (20), Bahagian C Pemindahan Maklumat (20) and Bahagian D Karangan (30). Sample items cover error correction, one-word vocabulary, muhavare, passage comprehension, synonyms, email, poster-to-chart transfer, picture prompts, a ≤30-word commentary and an essay of at least 250 words. Official papers are set and answered in Punjabi using the Gurmukhi script. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation that may retain Gurmukhi/Punjabi text where the language skill is being tested, with English stems and explanations — it is not a substitute for timed Punjabi writing practice.

SPM Bahasa Punjabi 9378 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill Bahagian A error spotting daily: gender/number agreement, postpositions (including ਨੇ), spelling with matras/addak/tippi, and common verb endings.
2Build a one-word replacement list (phrase → single Punjabi word) and a muhavare notebook with one correct sample sentence each.
3For Bahagian B, practise answering prose/poetry questions in complete Punjabi sentences and locating synonyms inside the passage, not outside it.
4Rehearse email layout (subject line, greeting, body covering all prompts, closing) and chart-transfer accuracy from posters.
5Time Bahagian D essays to at least 250 words with a clear introduction, developed body and conclusion under about 50 minutes.
6Read Gurmukhi regularly so script recognition, vocabulary and idiom sense stay automatic under the 2-hour limit.
7Use this English MCQ bank for concept accuracy, then switch to full Punjabi writing against LP sample-item types — MCQs cannot replace productive writing practice.
