Present simple quizzes from your own lesson material

A present simple video quiz works best when it tests the same rules the video explains, not just whether a student remembers the topic.

  • Multiple choice items on third-person -s, such as he goes versus he go.
  • True/false items on when to use present simple for routines and facts.
  • Short answer prompts that ask for question forms with do or does.
  • Explanations that point back to the rule in your own notes.
Example present simple quiz questions
Choose the correct form: My sister ___ (work) at a hospital. (a) work (b) worksworks. Third-person singular subjects like 'my sister' take -s in the present simple.
True or false: We use present simple for actions happening right now.False. Use the present continuous, such as 'We are watching,' for actions in progress now.
Write the question: They play tennis on Sundays.Do they play tennis on Sundays? Questions with they use do plus the base verb.
Correct the sentence: The bus leave at 8:15 every day.The bus leaves at 8:15 every day. The subject 'the bus' is singular, so the verb needs -s.
Choose the correct negative: He ___ coffee in the morning. (a) doesn't drink (b) don't drinkdoesn't drink. With he, she and it, the negative uses doesn't plus the base verb.

Present simple covers habits, routines and general facts, and it brings two common traps: the third-person -s (she likes) and question or negative forms that need do or does. Questions that ask students to pick, correct or write the right form test these rules more directly than general recall.

DeckOwl builds the quiz from the text you upload, so copy the key rules and example sentences from the video into your notes, or upload the teacher's slides. Each answer comes with an explanation that points back to the rule.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know when to use present simple?

Use it for habits, routines, timetables and general facts, such as 'The train leaves at 7.' With he, she and it, add -s or -es to the verb in affirmative sentences.

What is the most common present simple mistake?

Forgetting the third-person -s, as in 'She like coffee' instead of 'She likes coffee.' Questions and negatives use do or does with the base verb, so 'Does she like coffee?' is correct.

Can DeckOwl make a quiz directly from a video?

Not directly. Upload the slides, PDF, DOCX, PPTX or notes that go with the video, and the quiz is built from that text.

Which exports are included in paid plans?
