Why a custom grammar quiz beats a generic one

Printable grammar quizzes are easy to find, but they rarely match the mistakes you actually make. A grammar quiz for adults works best when it targets your own weak spots, such as agreement, pronoun case or verb mood.

Subject-verb agreement with collective nouns and compound subjects
Pronoun case after prepositions and in compound phrases
Verb tense and mood, including conditionals and the subjunctive
Modifier placement and sentence structure errors

Example grammar quiz questions for adults

Which is correct: 'Neither of the reports were finished' or 'Neither of the reports was finished'?'Neither of the reports was finished.' Neither is singular, so it takes a singular verb.

Choose the correct word: 'The committee ___ meets on Tuesdays.' (meet / meets)'meets'. Committee is a singular collective noun here, so it takes a singular verb.

True or false: 'Between you and I' is correct grammar.False. It should be 'between you and me' because 'between' is a preposition and takes the object pronoun 'me'.

Fill in the blank: 'If I ___ you, I would apologize.' (was / were)'were'. The subjunctive mood uses 'were' for hypothetical conditions, even with 'I'.

Which sentence has a dangling modifier: 'Walking to work, the rain soaked me' or 'I got soaked walking to work'?The first. 'Walking' describes 'the rain' instead of 'I', so it should read 'Walking to work, I got soaked.'

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a grammar quiz for adults have?

Around 10 to 20 questions per session works well for most adults, which is enough to test several rules without fatigue. Repeat the quiz after a few days to check what actually stuck.

How should I study grammar rules I keep getting wrong?

Focus on one rule at a time, explain why the correct form works in your own words, and retest after a day or two. Missed questions are the ones to review most often.

Can I export a quiz to use in a course?

PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?
