Why a custom English quiz beats a generic one

Ready-made English quizzes are written for a generic syllabus, so they rarely match the novel, poem or grammar unit your teacher actually assigned. DeckOwl starts from your own reading notes or slides and builds an English quiz that checks the same material.

Example English grammar and literature quiz questions

Which word is the subject in: The committee approved the budget on Monday?The committee. The subject is the noun doing the action, and the verb approved follows it.

True or false: Its and it's mean the same thing.False. It's is a contraction of it is, while its is the possessive form.

What figure of speech is used in: The wind whispered through the trees?Personification. The wind is given the human action of whispering.

Neither of the students ___ finished. Has or have?Has. Neither is singular, so it takes a singular verb.

What does the dagger soliloquy in Macbeth reveal about Macbeth?His guilt and inner conflict about murdering Duncan. He sees the dagger as a hallucination, which shows his unease.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages, and the quiz is built from what you actually studied.

Explanations on every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation so wrong answers teach you why, not just what the right answer is.

The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your LMS.

How it works

Frequently asked questions

How do I study for an English literature quiz effectively?

Read the passage first, then quiz yourself on plot, characters and themes. Retake the questions you missed after a day or two so the material sticks.

What makes a good English grammar practice question?

A good question tests one rule at a time, such as subject-verb agreement or comma placement. The explanation should say why each wrong option fails.

Can I export my English quiz?

Yes, on paid plans. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser only.
