What you’ll learn
English grammar is easier when you notice the patterns behind a sentence. This quiz practices five important skill areas:
- Subject–verb agreement: match a verb with its grammatical subject, even when extra words come between them.
- Verb tenses: distinguish simple, continuous, perfect, and conditional constructions.
- Articles and nouns: choose a/an/the, form possessives, and distinguish countable from uncountable nouns.
- Pronouns and modifiers: select subject and object pronouns, use comparisons, and avoid misplaced descriptions.
- Sentence structure and punctuation: recognize complete clauses, connect ideas, and improve clarity.

Three grammar rules worth remembering
1. Find the real subject. In “The box of pencils is heavy,” the subject is “box,” not “pencils,” so the verb is singular.
2. Match tense to time. “I visited yesterday” describes a completed event; “I have lived here since 2020” connects a past beginning to the present.
3. Listen to the sound, not just the letter. We say “an hour” because the h is silent, but “a university” because the first sound is /y/.

Learning tip: After an incorrect answer, explain the rule to yourself and write one new example sentence. Practicing the rule in context is usually more helpful than repeating the answer alone.
