Q1  20
Q1 20

Question 1: The soup smells ___. I want to eat it right now.

Question 1 options
'Delicious' is correct because 'smells' is a linking verb, so it must be followed by an adjective (predicate adjective), not an adverb. 'Deliciously' is an adverb and cannot follow a linking verb. 'Delight' is a noun, and 'delighted' describes a person's feeling, not a smell.
Q2 20

Question 2: Maria has two dogs. ___ dogs sleep in the garden every night.

Question 2 options
'Her' is correct because the sentence refers to Maria's dogs, so the possessive adjective 'her' must be used. 'His' refers to a male owner, 'its' refers to an animal's possession, and 'their' would refer to multiple owners.
Q3 20

Question 3: A predicate adjective always comes directly before the noun it describes.

Question 3 options
False because a predicate adjective comes AFTER a linking verb (e.g., 'The sky is blue'), not directly before the noun. An adjective placed directly before a noun is called an attributive adjective.
Q4 20

Question 4: In the sentence 'That car is very old,' what does the adjective 'old' do?

Question 4 options
'Old' is a predicate adjective that describes the subject 'car' after the linking verb 'is'. It does not come before the noun, it does not describe an action, and it does not show possession.
Q5 20

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

Question 5 options
  • a red bag
  • has
  • The little girl

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

The correct order is 'The little girl has a red bag' because the attributive adjective 'little' comes directly before the noun 'girl', and 'red' comes directly before 'bag'.
Q6 20

Question 6: Which sentence uses an adjective correctly?

Question 6 options
'The weather looks cold today' is correct because 'looks' is a linking verb followed by the adjective 'cold'. 'She runs quick' needs the adverb 'quickly'. 'He ate hungry' misuses an adjective after an action verb. 'They played tired' is also incorrect for the same reason.
Q7 20

Question 7: Customer: Excuse me, ___ jacket is this on the chair? Is it yours? Shop assistant: Oh, I don't know. You could ask at the front desk.

Question 7 options
'Whose' is the correct interrogative adjective here because the question asks about ownership of the jacket. 'Which' asks about a choice between options, 'what' is too general for this context, and 'that' is a demonstrative, not an interrogative adjective.
Q8 20

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses a demonstrative adjective (not a demonstrative pronoun)?

Question 8 options
'These shoes are too small for me' correctly uses 'these' as a demonstrative adjective modifying the noun 'shoes'. In the other options, 'this', 'that', and 'those' stand alone without a following noun, making them demonstrative pronouns.
Q9 20

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • for your room?
  • do you prefer
  • Which colour

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

The correct order is 'Which colour do you prefer for your room?' because 'which' is an interrogative adjective that must directly precede the noun 'colour', followed by the auxiliary verb and subject.
Q10 20

Question 10: We need ___ volunteers to help at the school event on Saturday.

Question 10 options
'Some' is the correct indefinite adjective here because it refers to an unspecified number of volunteers. 'Every' and 'each' refer to individual members of a group separately, and 'this' is a demonstrative adjective pointing to something specific.
Q11 20

Question 11: Look at the sentence: 'The old, wooden chair stood in the corner.' Which statement about the adjectives in this sentence is true?

Question 11 options
'Old' and 'wooden' are both attributive adjectives because they appear directly before the noun 'chair'. They are not predicate adjectives (which follow a linking verb), they do not show possession, and they are not interrogative adjectives.
Q12 20

Question 12: Rewrite using a predicate adjective: 'It is a beautiful garden.' → The garden ___.

Question 12 options
'Is beautiful' correctly transforms the attributive adjective 'beautiful' into a predicate adjective construction by placing it after the linking verb 'is'. The other options use incorrect verb forms or word order.
Q13 20

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct adjective type.

Question 13 options
My brother bought a new phone yesterday.
That building is the tallest in our town.
Which bus goes to the city centre?
Few students passed the difficult exam.
Indefinite adjective
Possessive adjective
Demonstrative adjective
Interrogative adjective

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

Possessive adjectives show ownership (my, your, his, her). Demonstrative adjectives point to specific nouns (this, that, these, those). Interrogative adjectives ask questions about nouns (which, what, whose). Indefinite adjectives refer to unspecified quantities or nouns (some, any, many, few).
Q14 20

Question 14: Demonstrative adjectives and demonstrative pronouns are always written differently in English.

Question 14 options
False because demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those) and demonstrative pronouns use the exact same words. The difference is in their function: a demonstrative adjective modifies a noun ('that dog'), while a demonstrative pronoun stands alone ('that is mine').
Q15 20

Question 15: Which sentence best describes someone's appearance using an attributive adjective rather than a predicate adjective?

Question 15 options
'She has bright green eyes' uses 'bright' and 'green' as attributive adjectives placed directly before the noun 'eyes'. The other options either place the adjective after a linking verb (predicate adjective) or use adverbs instead of adjectives.
Q16 20

Question 16: The teacher asked the students to write about ___ culture for their history project, referring to Italy.

Question 16 options
'Italian' is the correct proper adjective here because it is formed from the proper noun 'Italy' and describes which culture is meant. 'Italy' alone is a noun, not an adjective. 'Italic' has a different meaning (a style of writing), and 'Italish' is not a real word.
Q17 20

Question 17: The children were playing in the park. ___ child had a different coloured balloon, and they were all very happy.

Question 17 options
'Each' is correct here because it refers to every individual child separately (each one had their own balloon). 'Every' is similar but less natural before 'child' in this context when referring to individuals with different items. 'Any' implies uncertainty, and 'few' implies a small number, contradicting 'all'.
Q18 20

Question 18: Put the sentences in the correct order:

Question 18 options
  • The assistant says, 'Yes, that colour is very popular this season.'
  • He asks the assistant, 'Is this jacket available in blue?'
  • Tom decides to buy the blue jacket.
  • Tom is looking at jackets in a shop.

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

The correct order establishes context first (Tom sees a jacket), then he asks about it using a demonstrative adjective, gets a response, and finally makes a decision based on that response.
Q19 20

Question 19: In English, both possessive adjectives (my, your, his) AND demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those) are types of limiting adjectives because they both restrict which noun is being talked about.

Question 19 options
True because limiting adjectives narrow down or specify the noun they modify. Possessive adjectives limit a noun by showing ownership (my book = not just any book), and demonstrative adjectives limit a noun by pointing to a specific one (this book = not just any book).
Q20 20

Question 20: Which option correctly fixes the error in: 'The children and their teacher was excited about the trip.'?

Question 20 options
'The children and their teacher were excited about the trip' is correct because a compound subject joined by 'and' requires a plural verb ('were'), and 'excited' is correctly used as a predicate adjective after the linking verb. The other options either keep the incorrect singular verb or introduce new errors.
