Q1 20

Question 1: Which word is a noun? "The ___ is red."

Question 1 options
"Car" is correct because it names a thing, which is what nouns do. "Run" is a verb, "big" is an adjective, and "quickly" is an adverb.
Q2 20

Question 2: I have two ___.

Question 2 options
"Cats" is correct because the plural of "cat" is formed by adding -s. "Cat" is singular, "cates" is a misspelling, and "cating" is not a real word.
Q3 20

Question 3: A ___ is a person who teaches.

Question 3 options
A teacher is a person who teaches. The noun 'teacher' is formed by adding the suffix -er to the verb 'teach.'
Q4 20

Question 4: The word 'London' is a proper noun.

True because proper nouns name specific places, people, or things and are capitalized. 'London' names a specific city.
Q5 20

Question 5: Which is the correct plural of 'child'?

Question 5 options
"Children" is the correct irregular plural of "child." "Childs," "childes," and "childrens" are all incorrect forms.
Q6 20

Question 6: I need some ___ for my sandwich.

Question 6 options
"Bread" is correct because bread is an uncountable noun and does not take a plural -s. "Breads," "a bread," and "breades" are incorrect in this everyday context.
Q7 20

Question 7: We saw three ___ in the field.

Question 7 options
"Sheep" is correct because "sheep" is an irregular noun with the same singular and plural form. "Sheeps," "sheepes," and "sheepies" are all incorrect.

Question 8: Match each noun to its type.

Question 8 options
Sarah
table
team
freedom
Abstract noun
Proper noun
Common noun
Collective noun

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

Proper nouns name specific entities (Sarah). Common nouns name general things (table). Collective nouns name groups (team). Abstract nouns name ideas or qualities (freedom).
Q9 20

Question 9: That is my ___. (= the car belongs to my father)

Question 9 options
"Father's car" is correct because the possessive form of a singular noun is formed by adding 's. "Fathers car" lacks the apostrophe, "father car" has no possessive marker, and "fathers' car" implies multiple fathers.
Q10 20

Question 10: Which sentence uses a collective noun correctly?

Question 10 options
"The committee meets every Monday" is correct because "committee" is a collective noun referring to a group acting as one unit and takes a singular verb. The other sentences pair collective nouns with incorrect verb forms.
Q11 20

Question 11: The noun 'information' can be made plural by adding -s.

Question 11 options
False because 'information' is an uncountable noun in English and does not have a plural form. We say 'pieces of information,' not 'informations.'
Q12 20

Question 12: The ___ were playing in the park after school.

Question 12 options
"Children" is correct because the sentence needs a plural noun as the subject. "Child" is singular, "child's" is possessive, and "childrens" is not a valid form.
Q13 20

Question 13: Her ___ in the project surprised everyone. (noun form of 'involve')

Question 13 options
The noun form of 'involve' is 'involvement,' formed by adding the suffix -ment to the verb.
Q14 20

Question 14: Which word is an abstract noun?

Question 14 options
"Courage" is an abstract noun because it refers to a quality that cannot be seen or touched. "Mountain," "river," and "bottle" are all concrete nouns referring to physical things.
Q15 20

Question 15: There are several ___ of cake on the table.

Question 15 options
"Pieces" is correct because "cake" is often treated as uncountable when referring to the substance, so we use the countable partitive noun "pieces of" to quantify it. "Amounts" and "numbers" are not used with physical portions, and "part" is singular.
Q16 20

Question 16: Put these words in the correct order to form a noun phrase:

Question 16 options
  • boxes
  • three
  • the
  • small wooden

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'the three small wooden boxes' because English noun phrases follow the pattern: determiner + number + size adjective + material adjective + noun.
Q17 20

Question 17: The ___ locker room is on the second floor. (more than one player)

Question 17 options
"Players'" is correct because the possessive of a regular plural noun ending in -s is formed by adding only an apostrophe after the -s. "Player's" indicates one player, "players" lacks the possessive marker, and "playeres" is not a valid form.
Q18 20

Question 18: Which sentence correctly uses a compound noun?

Question 18 options
"She left her suitcase at the airport" is correct because "suitcase" is a valid compound noun (suit + case). "Tooth paste" should be one word (toothpaste), "sun-glasses" is typically written as "sunglasses" (one word), and "foot-ball" should be "football" (one word).
Q19 20

Question 19: In the sentence 'Swimming is good exercise,' the word 'swimming' functions as a noun.

Question 19 options
True because 'swimming' is a gerund — a verb form ending in -ing that functions as the subject of the sentence, acting as a noun.
Q20 20

Question 20: The researcher presented her ___ at the international conference last week.

Question 20 options
"Findings" is correct because it is the appropriate noun meaning 'results of research.' "Founds" is not a valid noun, "finded" is an incorrect verb form, and "fundings" means financial support, which does not fit the context of presenting research results.
