Why a custom to be quiz beats a generic printable

Most free to be quizzes in PDF form cover am, is, are, was, and were in the abstract, so they rarely match the sentences your teacher used in class.

  • Questions match your lesson wording, not a generic grammar list
  • Explanations show why each wrong answer is wrong
  • Spaced repetition on Plus keeps verb forms in memory after the test
  • Students get 40% off Plus with a school email
Example photosynthesis quiz questions, used as the sample topic
Where in the chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions take place?The thylakoid membranes, because chlorophyll there absorbs light to drive electron transport.
What gas does the Calvin cycle take in to build sugar?Carbon dioxide, which is fixed into organic molecules by the enzyme RuBisCO.
Which gas is released as a byproduct of the light-dependent reactions?Oxygen, released when water molecules are split to replace electrons lost by chlorophyll.
True or false: photosynthesis takes place in the mitochondria.False, because photosynthesis happens in chloroplasts while mitochondria carry out cellular respiration.
Which two energy carriers pass from the light reactions to the Calvin cycle?ATP and NADPH, because the Calvin cycle uses them to power the fixation of carbon into sugar.

Frequently asked questions

What forms of the verb to be should a quiz cover?

Most beginner quizzes cover am, is, are, was, were, and been, plus pairings such as I am and they were. Use sentences from your own reading so you practice the forms in context.

How do I practice to be verbs effectively?

Write one sentence for each subject pronoun every day, then check each form against a reference. Retesting after a day or two helps the forms stick better than one long session.

Can I export the quiz as a PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are a paid feature.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No, you can start on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
