Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: The movie ___ won the award last night was directed by a young filmmaker.

Question 1 options
'That' is correct because this is a restrictive clause — it identifies which specific movie won the award. Restrictive clauses use 'that' and do not have commas. 'Which' is used in non-restrictive clauses set off by commas. 'Who' refers to people, not movies. 'Where' refers to places.
Q2 15

Question 2: My laptop, ___ I bought last year, has already stopped working.

Question 2 options
'Which' is correct because the clause is non-restrictive — it gives extra information about the laptop but is not essential to identify it. Non-restrictive clauses use 'which' and are set off by commas. 'That' is used in restrictive clauses without commas. 'Who' refers to people. 'Whose' indicates possession.
Q3 15

Question 3: A restrictive clause introduced by 'that' should be separated from the rest of the sentence by commas.

Question 3 options
False because restrictive clauses introduced by 'that' do NOT use commas — they are essential to the sentence's meaning and are not set off by commas. Only non-restrictive clauses, introduced by 'which', use commas.
Q4 15

Question 4: In which situation should you use 'that' instead of 'which' in a relative clause?

Question 4 options
'That' is used when the clause is essential to identifying the noun — a restrictive clause. Without it, the sentence would lose important meaning. 'Which' is used when the clause adds extra, non-essential information.
Q5 15

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

Question 5 options
  • looks
  • that she repaired
  • The chair
  • brand new

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

The correct order is 'The chair that she repaired looks brand new' because 'that she repaired' is a restrictive clause identifying which specific chair, and it follows the noun directly without commas.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Question 6 options
'The road that leads to the village is very narrow' is correct because it uses 'that' in a restrictive clause without commas. The other sentences incorrectly use commas with 'that', or use 'which' without commas in a non-restrictive clause, or place the clause in the wrong position.
Q7 15

Question 7: Tourist: Excuse me, which bus goes to the museum? Local: Take the number 5. It's the only bus ___ stops right in front of the museum entrance.

Question 7 options
'That' is correct here because the clause 'that stops right in front of the museum entrance' is restrictive — it identifies the specific bus out of all buses. The context requires a defining clause, so 'that' without commas is appropriate. 'Which' would suggest extra, non-essential information. 'Who' refers to people. 'When' refers to time.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses 'which' in a non-restrictive clause (not 'that' in a restrictive clause)?

Question 8 options
'The old library, which was built in 1890, is now a museum' correctly uses 'which' with commas in a non-restrictive clause — the date is extra information, not needed to identify the library. The other options either use 'that' correctly in restrictive clauses or use 'which' without commas, which is incorrect for non-restrictive clauses.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • serves
  • which is near the park,
  • Her favourite café,
  • great coffee

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

The correct order is 'Her favourite café, which is near the park, serves great coffee' because 'which is near the park' is a non-restrictive clause providing extra information, and it must be set off by commas on both sides.
Q10 15

Question 10: I want to read the report ___ was submitted by the research team this morning.

Question 10 options
'That' is correct because the clause identifies which specific report — the one submitted this morning. This is a restrictive clause, so 'that' without commas is needed. 'Which' is used for non-restrictive clauses with commas. 'Who' is for people. 'What' cannot introduce a relative clause modifying a noun.
Q11 15

Question 11: A student writes: 'The park which is near my school has a new playground.' Which statement about this sentence is true?

Question 11 options
The sentence is missing commas around the relative clause. Since 'which' introduces a non-restrictive clause, it must be set off by commas: 'The park, which is near my school, has a new playground.' Using 'which' without commas is a common error.
Q12 15

Question 12: Original: 'This is the street. The accident happened on it.' Combine using a relative pronoun: 'This is the street ___ the accident happened.'

Question 12 options
'On which' is correct because when a preposition (on) is part of the relative clause and precedes the relative pronoun, only 'which' can follow it — not 'that'. This is a fixed rule: preposition + which, never preposition + that.
Q13 15

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

Question 13 options
The book that she recommended was sold out.
This jacket, which costs over £200, is made of real leather.
The office in which she works is very modern.
Please hand me the pen that is on the desk.
Preposition + 'which' in a relative clause
Non-restrictive clause with 'which' — with commas
Restrictive clause with 'that' — no commas
Restrictive clause identifying a specific object

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

Restrictive clauses use 'that' without commas and are essential to the meaning. Non-restrictive clauses use 'which' with commas and add extra information. A preposition before a relative pronoun always requires 'which', not 'that'.
Q14 15

Question 14: When a preposition comes before a relative pronoun in a formal sentence, you can use either 'that' or 'which' — for example, 'the university from that he graduated' is acceptable.

Question 14 options
False because when a preposition precedes a relative pronoun, only 'which' can be used — not 'that'. The correct form is 'the university from which he graduated'. 'From that' is never grammatically acceptable in standard English.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence best expresses that you own several cars, and you are referring specifically to the one with the red roof?

Question 15 options
'The car that has a red roof is mine' uses a restrictive clause, signalling that 'red roof' is essential information to identify which car among several. The version with 'which' and commas would imply there is only one car and the red roof is just extra detail.
