Why build your own ESL grammar quiz

Most ready-made quizzes cover the same tenses in the same order, which rarely matches the week's lesson. If you were hoping for a printable worksheet, you can still get one, but the stronger option is an ESL grammar quiz built from the exact material your learners are studying.

Questions match the grammar points in your own lesson material
Every multiple-choice, true/false and open question includes an explanation
Works with PDFs, slides, notes and photos of printed pages

Example ESL grammar quiz questions on tenses and articles

Choose the correct form: "She ___ in London since 2019." (a) lives (b) has lived (c) lived(b) has lived. Present perfect links a past starting point to the present, and "since 2019" marks that starting point.

Fill in the article: "Can you pass me ___ salt?" (a) a (b) the (c) anthe. Both speakers can see or know which salt is meant, so the noun is specific and takes "the".

True or false: "Each of the students have finished the test."False. "Each" takes a singular verb, so the sentence should read "Each of the students has finished the test."

Rewrite as a question: "They have been waiting since noon."How long have they been waiting? Present perfect continuous questions put "have" before the subject and use "how long" to ask about duration.

Choose the correct form: "If I ___ more time, I would travel." (a) have (b) had (c) having(b) had. The second conditional uses past simple in the if-clause for unreal or unlikely situations, with "would" in the result clause.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should an ESL grammar quiz have?

Ten to fifteen questions is a practical length for a single session, which leaves time for explanations. Shorter quizzes work well for one grammar point, while mixed reviews benefit from more items.

Which grammar points work best in a quiz for ESL learners?

Quizzes tend to work best on one contrast at a time, such as present perfect versus past simple, articles with specific and general nouns, or first and second conditionals. Narrow topics make the explanations easier for learners to follow.

Can I export the quiz to share with my class?

PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, which is $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro at $14.99/month.
