Why generate your own grammar quiz

Ready-made grammar games are handy for a warm-up, but they rarely cover the exact verb tenses or comma rules your class covered this week. DeckOwl builds an English grammar quiz from your own notes, slides or PDF, so every question matches what you studied.

Practice subject-verb agreement, verb tense, pronoun case and punctuation using your own examples.
Switch between multiple choice for quick checks and short answer for sentence rewriting.
Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month.
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.

Example English grammar quiz questions

Choose the correct verb: Neither the cat nor the dogs ___ inside.were inside. With 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the nearer subject, 'dogs', which is plural.

Fill in the blank: By the time we arrived, the film ___ already started.had already started. The past perfect shows an action completed before another past action, here the arrival.

Is 'Each of the students have a locker' correct?No, it should be 'has a locker'. 'Each' is singular, so the verb takes the singular form even when a plural noun follows.

Does 'My brother who wrote the novel lives in Ohio' need commas around the clause?No. The clause identifies which brother is meant, so it is restrictive and takes no commas.

Identify the error: 'Between you and I, the plan works.''Between you and me' is correct. 'Between' is a preposition, so it takes the object pronoun 'me'.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Questions come from your own handouts and notes, so tense, agreement and punctuation practice matches your syllabus.

Explanations on every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches the rule instead of just marking it off.

Three question types

Mix multiple choice, true/false and open questions to check recognition and then production.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Practice and review

Answer in your browser, read each explanation, and retry the questions you missed.

Because each question links back to the material you uploaded, you can see exactly where a missed answer came from. Explanations appear after each answer, so you learn the rule, not just the right letter.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I practice English grammar with quizzes?

Short sessions of 10 to 15 questions spread across several days usually work better than one long cram. Answer from memory first, then read the explanation for every miss.

Which grammar topics suit multiple-choice quizzes?

Subject-verb agreement, verb tense choice, pronoun case and comma rules suit multiple choice well because each has a clear right answer. Short-answer questions help more with rewriting sentences and editing paragraphs.

Can I export my grammar quiz to Word or Moodle?

Exports are paid features. Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro ($14.99/month) adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
