Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: Which word in the sentence is a noun? 'The dog ran quickly across the park.'

Question 1 options
'Dog' is correct because a noun names a person, place, animal, or thing. 'Ran' is a verb, 'quickly' is an adverb, and 'across' is a preposition.
Q2 15

Question 2: She sings ___. Her voice is amazing.

Question 2 options
'Beautifully' is correct because an adverb modifies a verb, and 'beautifully' describes how she sings. 'Beautiful', 'beauty', and 'beautify' are an adjective, noun, and verb respectively.
Q3 15

Question 3: A pronoun is used to replace a noun in a sentence.

Question 3 options
True because the function of a pronoun is to substitute for a noun to avoid repetition. For example, 'Maria is tired. She wants to rest.' uses 'she' to replace 'Maria'.
Q4 15

Question 4: In which sentence is the underlined word used as an adjective?

Question 4 options
'The tall building is downtown' is correct because 'tall' describes the noun 'building'. In the other options, the underlined words function as a verb, adverb, and noun respectively.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • breakfast
  • My little sister
  • quickly
  • always eats

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

The correct order is 'My little sister always eats breakfast quickly' because the adjective 'little' comes before the noun 'sister', and 'always' is a frequency adverb placed before the main verb.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence uses the correct part of speech in the underlined position?

Question 6 options
'She gave a happy smile' is correct because 'happy' is an adjective modifying the noun 'smile'. The other sentences incorrectly use a noun, verb, or adverb where an adjective is needed.
Q7 15

Question 7: Customer: 'Excuse me, is the manager available?' Receptionist: '___ is in a meeting right now, but I can help you.'

Question 7 options
'He' is correct because a pronoun replaces the noun 'the manager', which is a singular male role in this context. 'They' could work for gender-neutral use, but 'It' and 'We' do not refer to a single person correctly here.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses an adverb (not an adjective) to modify a verb?

Question 8 options
'The children played happily in the garden' is correct because 'happily' is an adverb modifying the verb 'played'. The other options incorrectly use adjective forms where adverbs are needed.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • The curious student
  • every word
  • carefully read

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

The correct order is 'The curious student carefully read every word' because the adjective 'curious' precedes the noun 'student', and the adverb 'carefully' modifies the verb 'read'.
Q10 15

Question 10: The storm was ___. We had to stay indoors all day.

Question 10 options
'Terrible' is correct because a linking verb like 'was' must be followed by an adjective (predicate adjective) that describes the subject 'storm'. 'Terribly', 'terribleness', and 'terribly scary' misuse word forms after a linking verb.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about verbs in English is correct?

Question 11 options
'Action verbs describe what the subject does, while linking verbs connect the subject to a description' is correct. Linking verbs like 'seem', 'feel', and 'appear' connect subjects to adjectives or nouns, not actions.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite using a pronoun: 'Tom and Lisa went to the market. Tom and Lisa bought some fruit.' → Tom and Lisa went to the market. ___ bought some fruit.

Question 12 options
'They' is correct because 'Tom and Lisa' is a plural subject referring to two people, so the plural subject pronoun 'they' replaces it. 'Them' is an object pronoun, 'It' refers to things, and 'We' implies the speaker is included.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.

Question 13 options
The children laughed loudly at the show.
Paris is a beautiful city in France.
She seems very tired after her long trip.
The old red car needs a new engine.
Adverb modifying a verb
Linking verb connecting subject to adjective
Proper noun as subject
Adjective describing a noun

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

Nouns name people, places, or things. Verbs describe actions or states. Adjectives describe nouns. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Q14 15

Question 14: All adverbs in English end in '-ly'.

Question 14 options
False because while many adverbs do end in '-ly' (e.g. 'quickly', 'neatly'), many common adverbs do not, such as 'very', 'always', 'well', 'fast', 'hard', and 'soon'.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence uses 'hard' with the correct meaning as an adverb?

Question 15 options
'She worked hard to finish the project on time' is correct because 'hard' as an adverb means 'with great effort'. 'Hardly' means 'almost not at all', so the other sentences change the meaning significantly or use the wrong form.
