80% on a quick test, not to bad for a historically bad writer and speller.
*Note : Misspelling on #12 I think (except vs. excerpt)
Drat, I got #19 wrong, but that’s not too bad, huh?
Couldn’t #3 go two possible ways, between British pronunciation of “history” and American pronunciation?
@The Happy Rock, fixed the typo, thanks for the heads u.
@Deb, good question, I will research that one out.
I was confused with some answers, and ended up getting 70%. Not bad
Not good, not good at all. Apparently I need to go back to high school English. Oh dear.
55% - I got killed on the parts of speech. Blah.
Great test.
The “excerpt/except” misspelling is also on #18, and both 12 and 18 are misspelled on the “answers” page.
That said, I missed a few and need to brush up a bit…or read DWT a little more often.
Charles and I are attending the test.
So, I are attending the test is correct?
Boo.
@Rhonda, fixed those. Thanks for the heads up, I was in a hurry while doing the test, as you verified
.
65%
It would be nice if it showed how you answered along with the right answer.
Wow! 90%- I got #11 and #13 wrong. Though I know the relative pronoun ‘Who’ is used when an antecedent means a person, I have selected ‘that’ thinking there is a trap. #13 is quite a lot confusing me.
80%. Bummer. I should know more grammar than that.
Deb: I assume you mean #2, not #3 - but there’s no difference between the American and British pronunciation of “history” (aside from the accent. Well, some British accents drop their h’s, but that’s not standard), so…no. (Can go either way on “historical”, though)
Your opening sentence on this post… it should either be “It was about time we released another test.” and not “It was about time to release another test.”
oops! i hit the submit button before finishing…
Your opening sentence on this post… it should either be “It was about time we released another test.” (and not “It was about time to release another test.”) or it should be “It is time to release another test.”.
Phew! 95%
@Luke, “Charles and I” is plural, and the same as we, that is why you use “are” there.
Thanks for this! want more quizzes please!
I scored 80%.
Looking quickly over the scores, that seems to be about average. So on a true bell curve, I’m a solid C student. (At least with an audience that reads a blog about grammar and writing.)
