9th Class English Past Papers – BISE Gujranwala
This page collects the Gujranwala Board 9th class English (Compulsory) past papers for the last four years (2022 to 2025). Each year includes the Group I and Group II subjective papers as PDF files, so you can practise with the same style of questions the board has used recently.
English is a compulsory subject for every Matric Part 1 student, and the paper rewards clear writing as much as correct grammar. Solving previous papers is the quickest way to see how the marks are divided and what you are expected to write for each question.
What is in the English paper?
The subjective paper is worth 56 marks and is given 2 hours 10 minutes. Looking at the recent papers, the questions follow a steady pattern:
- Short questions: write brief answers to any five of eight questions, based on the lessons in your textbook.
- Translation into Urdu: translate any two of three paragraphs. An alternate question is given for foreign and English medium candidates.
- Poem: write the summary of a poem, or explain a stanza with reference to the context.
- Idioms and phrases: use any five of eight words or phrases in sentences of your own.
- Writing task: a letter or application, a story with a moral, or a dialogue between two people.
- Reading passage: read a short passage and answer the questions on it.
- Translation into English: translate Urdu sentences into English.
- Change of voice: change active sentences to passive, or passive to active.
The exact wording and the number of marks for each question can change from year to year, so always check the paper itself for the details.
How to prepare using these papers
- Finish the textbook lessons and poems first, because the short questions come directly from them.

- Practise the letter, story and dialogue topics, since these carry many marks and follow set formats.
- Learn a good number of idioms and phrases and practise using them in your own sentences.
