No worries! Trivia can be tricky, and it's all about having fun and learning new things. We're glad you gave it a shot! Keep playing, and you'll get better with practice. Do you have a favorite question or something new you learned from the quiz? 😊
Question: #14: Answer B, simple past, also correct. #21:Answer B also correct. #26: Answer B is totally synonymous, and thus also correct. As a native speaker, it is also used frequently. #29: As the quetion is written, either past, present, or future tense would be grammatically correct. Thus, answer B and C also correct. Finally, there is a typo in the test introduction, which reads "Basic Brammar."
Thank you for your detailed feedback! I appreciate the time you've taken to provide your insights. Here’s a breakdown of the points you've raised: Question #14: Answer B (simple past) You are right. Both the present perfect ("has lost") and simple past ("lost") can be contextually correct depending on the time frame implied by the sentence. I will update the answer key to reflect that B is also a correct answer. Question #21: Answer B You are correct. In formal writing, the comma can clarify the meaning: "Let's eat, kids!" instead of "Let's eat kids!" I will ensure the answer key acknowledges this nuance. Question #26: Answer B (as if) Absolutely. Both "as if" and "as though" are grammatically correct and often used interchangeably. I'll update the answer key to accept both B and D as correct answers. Question #29: Verb tense ambiguity You have a point. Depending on context, various tenses can be correct. I’ll revise the question to provide a clearer context or accept multiple correct answers (A, B, and C). Thank you for catching that typo. Your feedback is invaluable for improving the quality and accuracy of the quiz. Thanks again for your helpful comments!
This evening (Tuesday, May 21, 2024) I took your "A 2 Level Grammar Quiz " for the first time- and I acquired a perfect score! SUPERB! Thanks! Larry Carroll
This sentence is correctly punctuated because it uses commas to separate items in a list (“eggs,” “milk,” and “bread”). This punctuation style is known as the serial comma or Oxford comma, and it is commonly used in English writing to clarify the separation between items in a list. Each item in the list is separated by a comma, and the word “and” before the last item indicates the end of the list.
Question: #16: To me, it seems more likely that one would deny stealing money, than refusing to take (possibly offered?) money. So I would say Answer B. Both statements are grammatically correct; one just seems more logical. #17: Answer B, past perfect, also correct. They painted the house themselves. #18: If imagining one year and one day after graduation, then Answer B. If imagining one year minus one day just before graduation, then Answer D. So, after the passage of one year, are we looking forward to tomorrow's graduation, or are we looking back to yesterday's graduation? So as the question is phrased, either answer could be correct. #21: Answer A also correct. A statement made in the past about a commitment concerning a future event.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments and feedback! Let's go through each of your points: #16: You are correct that both statements are grammatically correct. The context in the quiz was more about the grammatical structure than the logical context, which is why 'refused to take the money' was chosen. However, your point about the likelihood and logic is well taken. #17: "They had their house painted" is the correct causative form, indicating that someone else painted the house for them. Option B "They had painted their house" is grammatically correct but changes the meaning to imply that they themselves painted the house. #18: This is a great observation about the nuances of future perfect tense. The context intended was looking back after the graduation had already occurred ('will have graduated'), but your point about imagining just before the graduation ('will be graduating') is valid too. We will clarify the context better in future questions to avoid such ambiguities. #21: 'She said that she will come' is indeed correct in terms of sequence of tenses, indicating a future commitment made in the past. The preference for 'would come' is for reported speech consistency, but your point is acknowledged. Thank you for your insights! They help make these quizzes more robust and clear for everyone. Keep the feedback coming!
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 I totally understand what you mean, and I'm excited to let you know that I'm planning to create more challenging riddle quizzes where you'll have to come up with the answers yourself. Stay tuned for future videos with more brain-teasing riddles that will really test your thinking skills! 🧩
Question: #3: Answer D also grammatically correct. #6: Answer D also correct. #10: "arrived AT the party" would be the correct expression. #15: Answer A also correct. Better would be "If you are coming to the party..." #19: Suggested rephrasing, "By the time you get home, I will have cooked dinner". or "When you get home, I will cook dinner." #22: Answer C also grammatically correct. #28: Answer D also correct.
Thank you for your feedback on the quizzes. I appreciate your careful review and would like to address each of your points in detail: #3: While "went" is grammatically correct, it does not fit the context of the question as it asks about a habitual action. "Goes" is the appropriate answer to indicate a routine activity. #6: "Played" is indeed grammatically correct, but the question aims to highlight a regular activity. "Play" is the simple present tense that indicates a habitual action, which is the intended meaning. #10: You are correct. The phrase should be "arrived at the party" to be grammatically precise. Thank you for pointing that out. #15: While "will come" can be used, it is less common in conditional sentences expressing a future event. "Come" fits better in the first conditional form. Your suggested rephrasing, "If you are coming to the party," is indeed more natural and precise. #19: Your suggestions are excellent. The rephrased sentences provide clearer time relationships. "By the time you get home, I will have cooked dinner" is a perfect example of the future perfect tense. #22: "Is going" is indeed grammatically correct, indicating a planned action in the near future. Both "will go" and "is going" can be correct depending on the context. #28: You are correct; "Even though" can also be used here. Both "Although" and "Even though" are interchangeable in this context and express the same contrast. Thank you again for your valuable input. I will make the necessary corrections and clarifications to ensure the quizzes are as accurate and clear as possible. Your insights help improve the learning experience for everyone.
