Q1  20
Q1 20

Question 1: The soup smells ___. I think I will try it.

Question 1 options
'Delicious' is correct because 'smells' is a linking verb here, so it must be followed by a predicate adjective, not an adverb. 'Deliciously' is an adverb and cannot follow a linking verb. 'Delight' is a noun and 'delighted' means pleased, which does not describe the soup's smell.
Q2 20

Question 2: Maria bought a new dress. ___ dress is blue and white.

Question 2 options
'Her' is correct because 'Maria' is a female subject, so the possessive adjective must be 'her'. 'His' refers to a male, 'its' refers to things or animals, and 'their' refers to more than one person.
Q3 20

Question 3: A predicate adjective 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 before the noun. An adjective placed directly before a noun is called an attributive adjective.
Q4 20

Question 4: Which situation correctly uses a demonstrative adjective?

Question 4 options
'That car over there is very old' uses 'that' as a demonstrative adjective modifying the noun 'car'. In the other options, 'that' is used as a conjunction, a relative pronoun, or is missing entirely, so they do not show a demonstrative adjective modifying a noun.
Q5 20

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

Question 5 options
  • too small
  • are
  • for me
  • These
  • shoes

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

The correct order is 'These shoes are too small for me' because 'these' is a demonstrative adjective placed before the noun 'shoes', followed by the linking verb 'are' and the predicate adjective phrase.
Q6 20

Question 6: Which sentence uses an adjective correctly?

Question 6 options
'The old bridge looks dangerous' is correct because 'old' is an attributive adjective before the noun 'bridge' and 'dangerous' is a predicate adjective after the linking verb 'looks'. The other sentences incorrectly use adverbs or nouns where adjectives are needed.
Q7 20

Question 7: Customer: Excuse me, ___ jacket would you recommend for cold weather? Shop assistant: I would suggest this one — it is very warm.

Question 7 options
'Which' is correct because it is an interrogative adjective modifying the noun 'jacket' to ask for a specific choice from a group. 'What' can also ask questions but 'which' is more natural when selecting from available options. 'Whose' asks about ownership, and 'whom' is a pronoun, not an adjective.
Q8 20

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

Question 8 options
'We forgot our umbrellas' is correct because 'our' is a possessive adjective modifying the noun 'umbrellas'. In the other options, 'ours', 'mine', and 'theirs' are possessive pronouns that stand alone and do not modify a noun directly.
Q9 20

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • today
  • look
  • The children
  • very excited

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

The correct order is 'The children look very excited today' because 'excited' is a predicate adjective following the linking verb 'look', and 'very' is the intensifier placed directly before the adjective.
Q10 20

Question 10: My brother just got a job. He works at ___ international company in the city.

Question 10 options
'an' is correct because 'international' begins with a vowel sound, so the indefinite article 'an' must be used. 'A' is used before consonant sounds. 'The' would imply a specific company already known to the listener, and 'some' is not an article.
Q11 20

Question 11: Which statement about attributive adjectives is true?

Question 11 options
Attributive adjectives are placed directly before the noun they modify. They do not require a linking verb. Predicate adjectives follow linking verbs, and adjectives do not change form based on whether a noun is singular or plural in English.
Q12 20

Question 12: Rewrite using the correct adjective form: 'The weather is good today.' → 'It is ___ weather today.'

Question 12 options
'nice' correctly replaces 'good' as an attributive adjective placed before 'weather' in this transformation. 'Good' also works as an attributive adjective, but among the given options 'nicely' is an adverb, 'niceness' is a noun, and 'nicer' is a comparative form which changes the meaning, making 'nice' the best match for the original meaning.
Q13 20

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

Question 13 options
She wore a beautiful red scarf.
The coffee tastes bitter.
Those flowers are for you.
He forgot his passport at home.
Possessive adjective
Predicate adjective
Demonstrative adjective
Attributive adjective

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

Attributive adjectives appear before the noun; predicate adjectives follow a linking verb; possessive adjectives show ownership; demonstrative adjectives point to specific nouns.
Q14 20

Question 14: In English, the word 'this' can function as either a demonstrative adjective or a demonstrative pronoun, depending on how it is used in a sentence.

Question 14 options
True because when 'this' modifies a noun (e.g. 'This book is mine'), it is a demonstrative adjective. When it stands alone without a noun (e.g. 'This is mine'), it is a demonstrative pronoun. The form is the same; the function differs.
Q15 20

Question 15: Which sentence best describes a dog that belongs to a specific person and is known to both speakers?

Question 15 options
'The dog is very friendly' uses the definite article 'the', which refers to a specific, already-identified dog known to both speakers. 'A dog is friendly' refers to any dog in general. 'Some dog' is vague and informal. 'Any dog' means it does not matter which one.
Q16 20

Question 16: Look at this sentence: 'Please hand me ___ blue folder on the desk — not the red one.' Which option correctly completes the sentence so that the speaker is pointing to a specific nearby folder?

Question 16 options
'this' is correct because it is a demonstrative adjective used for something nearby and specific. 'That' refers to something farther away. 'Some' is an indefinite adjective that does not point to a specific item. 'Any' is also indefinite and does not identify a particular folder.
Q17 20

Question 17: Which option correctly fills the blank? 'The manager and ___ assistant both seemed nervous before the presentation.'

Question 17 options
'her' is correct as a possessive adjective modifying 'assistant', showing the assistant belongs to or is associated with the manager (who is female in this context). 'Hers' is a possessive pronoun that cannot modify a noun directly. 'She' is a subject pronoun and 'herself' is a reflexive pronoun — neither can modify a noun.
Q18 20

Question 18: Put the sentences in the correct order to form a logical conversation:

Question 18 options
  • Sara replied that it was quite affordable.
  • Sara said the silver phone on the left looked great.
  • Tom then asked if that silver phone was expensive.
  • Tom asked Sara which phone he should buy.

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

The correct order is: Tom asks which phone to buy → Sara recommends the silver one → Tom asks if it is expensive → Sara says it is affordable. Each sentence logically follows from the previous one using question-and-answer structure.
Q19 20

Question 19: Possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) always modify a noun directly, AND they can be used with both singular and plural nouns.

Question 19 options
True because possessive adjectives always appear before a noun to modify it (e.g. 'my book', 'their books'), and they do not change form based on whether the noun is singular or plural — 'their book' and 'their books' both use 'their'.
Q20 20

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

Question 20 options
'The children and their teacher were excited about the school trip' is correct because a compound subject joined by 'and' requires a plural verb 'were'. 'Excited' is a predicate adjective following the linking verb and is correct as is — changing it would create a new error.
