Which verb correctly completes the sentence: "She ____ to school every day."
gone
going
go
goes
The subject "She" is third person singular and requires the verb form "goes". Other forms do not agree with the subject in this simple present sentence.
Fill in the blank with the correct article: "I saw ___ elephant at the zoo."
an
the
a
no article
"Elephant" begins with a vowel sound, so it takes the article "an." Using "a" or "the" is incorrect here.
Choose the correct preposition: "He is good ___ math."
in
for
at
on
The adjective "good" is commonly followed by the preposition "at" when referring to skills or subjects. "Good in" or "good on" are not standard collocations in this context.
Select the correct past tense form: "They ____ soccer last weekend."
plays
playing
played
play
The sentence refers to a completed action in the past, so the simple past form "played" is correct. Other forms do not indicate a finished action last weekend.
Which of the following sentences is written in the active voice?
The cake had been eaten by the children.
The children ate the cake.
The cake is being eaten.
The cake was eaten by the children.
An active-voice sentence has the subject performing the action, as in "The children ate the cake." The others are passive constructions where the subject receives the action.
Identify the error in the sentence: "Running quickly, the finish line was reached by her."
Passive voice
Subject-verb disagreement
Dangling modifier
Incorrect verb tense
The phrase "Running quickly" incorrectly modifies "the finish line" rather than "her". This is known as a dangling modifier.
Choose the correct tense to complete the sentence: "By the time I arrived, they ____ dinner."
had finished
were finishing
finished
have finished
The past perfect "had finished" indicates that their dinner was completed before the action of arriving. It shows the sequence of two past events clearly.
Select the correct verb form based on subject-verb agreement: "The team ____ winning the championship."
have
are
were
is
Collective nouns like "team" are usually singular when considered as a unit. Therefore the singular verb "is" agrees with "team."
Which is the correct passive form of "The chef cooked a meal."?
Was a meal cooked by the chef.
A meal was cooked by the chef.
A meal is cooked by the chef.
A meal cooked by the chef.
The correct passive voice uses the object "a meal" as the subject of the sentence and includes the auxiliary "was" plus past participle "cooked." It also correctly uses "by the chef" as the agent.
Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: "She is interested ___ learning languages."
for
in
on
at
The adjective "interested" takes the preposition "in." This collocation is standard usage in English.
Which sentence is in the passive voice?
The project will be finished tomorrow by them.
They have finished the project.
They will finish the project tomorrow.
They are finishing the project.
In passive voice, the subject receives the action, as in "The project will be finished tomorrow by them." The verb "will be finished" signals passive construction.
Which sentence demonstrates correct parallel structure?
She likes hiking, swimming, and biking.
She likes hiking, to swim, and biking.
She likes hiking, swim, and biking.
She likes to hike, swimming, and to bike.
Parallel structure requires that items in a list share the same grammatical form. Only option 2 uses three gerunds "hiking, swimming, and biking" consistently.
Fill in the blanks with the correct articles: "___ Earth revolves around ___ Sun."
The Earth ... a Sun
Earth ... Sun
An Earth ... a Sun
The Earth ... the Sun
Unique celestial bodies like Earth and Sun take the definite article "the." No other choice reflects this conventional usage.
Choose the correct completion for the conditional: "If he had studied, he ____ the exam."
would pass
will pass
had passed
would have passed
This is a third conditional sentence, expressing an unreal past situation. It requires "would have passed" to indicate the outcome that did not occur.
Select the correct pronoun agreement: "The jury delivered ____ verdict after deliberation."
his
its
their
her
The collective noun "jury" is treated as singular in American English, so it takes the singular pronoun "its." It refers back to "jury," not its individual members.
Choose the correct verb form for the indefinite pronoun: "Each of the players ____ a locker."
has
are
have
were
The indefinite pronoun "each" is singular, so it takes the singular verb "has." "Have" would be plural and incorrect.
Complete the sentence with the correct future perfect continuous tense: "By next June, she ____ here for five years."
will be working
will have been working
will have worked
will work
Future perfect continuous tense ("will have been working") describes an action that will continue up to a specific time. It emphasizes the ongoing duration before next June.
What is the correct passive form of "They will have completed the project by Monday."?
By Monday, they will have been completing the project.
By Monday, the project will be completed.
By Monday, the project will have been completing.
By Monday, the project will have been completed by them.
The future perfect passive uses "will have been" plus past participle. Option 1 correctly places the project as subject and "by them" as the agent.
Which sentence correctly uses inversion for emphasis?
Rarely have I seen such talent.
Rarely I have seen such talent.
I rarely have seen such talent.
I have rarely seen such talent.
Inversion after negative adverbials like "rarely" requires the auxiliary verb before the subject. Option 1 correctly inverts "have" and "I."
Identify the error in the sentence: "She likes hiking, to swim, and bike rides."
Article usage error
Tense inconsistency
Parallelism error
Subject-verb agreement error
List items must maintain parallel grammatical structure. The sentence mixes gerund ("hiking"), infinitive ("to swim"), and noun phrase ("bike rides"), causing a parallelism error.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master Subject-Verb Agreement - Keeping your subjects and verbs in sync is like a perfect dance: singular subjects pair with singular verbs, and plurals groove with plural verbs. Slip-ups can make readers stumble, so double-check those endings! Learn more on Purdue OWL
  2. Recognize Common Grammatical Errors - Grammar gremlins like misplaced modifiers, run-on sentences, and comma splices love hiding in your writing. Spot them early by reading out loud and breaking long thoughts into bite-sized chunks. Check out error-busting tips
  3. Apply Correct Tense Usage - Verb tenses are your time machine: stick to one era unless there's a purpose to jump. Mixing past, present, and future can confuse readers - keep your timeline crystal clear! Explore tense consistency
  4. Analyze Sentence Structure for Proper Syntax - Building a sentence is like constructing LEGO: you need a clear subject, a sturdy verb, and the right objects to complete the picture. When each piece fits, your ideas shine! Dive into sentence anatomy
  5. Differentiating Between Active and Passive Voice - Active voice is like a high-five: direct, punchy, and engaging ("She scored the goal!"). Passive voice can feel distant and dull ("The goal was scored by her"). Choose active to energize your writing! See voice examples
  6. Evaluate the Use of Prepositions and Articles - Little words like "in," "on," "the," and "a" pack a big punch for clarity. Placing them correctly paints a precise picture - "She sat on the chair" feels more solid than "She sat the chair." Polish your prepositions
  7. Understand Indefinite Pronouns - Words like "everyone," "someone," and "nobody" look plural but act singular - so they demand a singular verb ("Everyone is ready"). Treat them like unicorns with special rules! Get pronoun pointers
  8. Identify and Correct Run-On Sentences - When sentences run for miles without proper breaks, readers lose the path. Use commas with conjunctions, semicolons, or full stops to give ideas room to breathe. Tame run”ons here
  9. Use Parallel Structure in Lists - Consistency pulses energy through lists: "reading, writing, and painting" flows better than "reading, to write, and painting." Keep your verbs or phrases in the same form! Master parallelism
  10. Practice Punctuation Rules - Commas, semicolons, and periods are your best friends for pacing and clarity. A well”placed comma can save you from chaos - "Let's eat, Grandma!" vs. "Let's eat Grandma!" Sharpen your punctuation
