How a grammar learning quiz builds accuracy

A grammar learning quiz works best when each question targets one rule and the explanation shows why the wrong options fail. Subject-verb agreement, pronoun case and comma placement are good candidates because they have clear right answers you can check against a textbook.

Example grammar questions for a learning quiz

Which word completes the sentence: 'If I ___ you, I would apologize.' (were / was)were. The subjunctive 'were' is used for hypothetical conditions, even with I.

True or false: joining two independent clauses with only a comma is correct.False. That is a comma splice; use a period, a semicolon, or a coordinating conjunction with the comma.

What is the past participle of 'lie' meaning to recline?lain. Lie (recline) takes lay as its past tense and lain as its past participle, so 'had lain' is correct.

Which pronoun completes the sentence: 'Between you and ___, the plan is fine.'me. After a preposition such as between, use the object pronoun me, not I.

Does this sentence contain a dangling modifier: 'Walking to school, the bus was missed.'Yes. Walking must modify a person, so rewrite it as 'Walking to school, I missed the bus.'

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a grammar learning quiz have?

Start with 10 to 15 questions on one rule set, such as verb tense or comma use, so each wrong answer points to a specific fix. Retake the same quiz a day or two later to check what stuck.

Which grammar topics suit quiz questions best?

Rules with a clear right answer work well, including subject-verb agreement, pronoun case, and punctuation such as commas and semicolons. Topics that depend on tone or style are better practiced with open answers and feedback.

Can I export my grammar quiz to PDF or Moodle?

PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan?

The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
