Writing English quiz questions from your own reading

A short story, a chapter summary or a set of grammar notes is often the quickest source for a Google Forms English quiz. Upload the file and DeckOwl drafts multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions that stay on the material, so you are not writing every item by hand before class.

Start with a passage or notes the class has already read.
Mix question types: multiple choice for vocabulary, true/false for grammar rules, short answer for interpretation.
Read every explanation before publishing and fix any that are vague.
Keep the answer key next to the form so you can check scores quickly.

Example English grammar quiz questions

Which word is a conjunction in 'She studied hard, but she still felt unsure'?but. It joins two independent clauses, which is the job of a coordinating conjunction.

True or false: a complete sentence must contain a subject and a finite verb.True. Without a subject and a finite verb, the group of words is a fragment rather than a sentence.

Choose the correct verb: 'Neither the students nor the teacher ___ ready.' (is / are)is. With neither...nor, the verb agrees with the closer subject, which is the singular teacher.

What figure of speech is 'The classroom was a zoo during the storm'?Metaphor. It says one thing is another without using like or as, to suggest noise and chaos.

Which is correct: 'Its raining' or 'It's raining'?It's raining. The apostrophe marks the contraction of 'it is', while 'its' alone is the possessive.
