Grammar Quiz

Question 1

Choose the correct sentence.

With adjectives, "enough" always comes after: confident enough, ready enough, good enough. "Not enough confident" is a very common Polish-speaker error.

Question 2

Choose the correct sentence.

Adjective + enough: "intelligent enough," "strong enough," "experienced enough." The adjective always comes first.

Question 3

Fill in the blank — choose the correct option.
"We don't have _____ time to finish this today."

With nouns, "enough" comes before: enough time, enough money, enough people. This is the opposite rule from adjectives (where enough comes after).

Question 4

Which sentence is correct?

Adjective + enough: hot enough. Both A and B have the wrong order — "enough hot" is never correct in English.

Question 5

Choose the correct sentence.

When you describe yourself or someone with "I am [adjective] person," you need the indefinite article: I am a [adjective] person. The noun "person" is countable and needs an article.

Question 6

Choose the correct sentence.

Use a when classifying or describing something for the first time: "It's a huge process," "It's a complex system." "The" would mean you've already mentioned this specific process.

Question 7

Fill in the blanks. Choose the correct option.
"_____ first meeting will be _____ online meeting."

"The first meeting" = a specific, known meeting → the. "An online meeting" = describing what type it is, first mention → an (before vowel sound).

Question 8

Choose the correct sentence.

"Problem" is a countable noun — it needs an article. "We have a problem" is the standard phrase. Also note: "have a problem keeping" (not "to keep") — gerund follows this pattern.

Question 9

Choose the correct preposition.
"We were late _____ the movie."

"Late to" describes arriving late at a destination or event: late to the movie, late to work, late to class. "Late for" is also possible but "late on" is not used this way.

Question 10

Choose the correct preposition.
"We divided the project _____ three phases."

"Divide / split / separate ___" always takes into: divided into parts, split into groups, separated into categories.

Question 11

Choose the correct preposition.
"The company originated _____ Israel."

"Originated in [place]" — the company began its existence in a location. "Originated from" is used for sources/causes, not birthplaces of companies. (Compare: "She comes from Israel" — that's fine.)

Question 12

Choose the correct sentence.

"Contact" is a transitive verb — it takes a direct object with no preposition: contact me, contact the team, contact us. "Contact with" is a very common error influenced by Polish "skontaktować się z."

Question 13

Choose the correct sentence.

Use the present perfect for situations that started in the past and continue now. "For many years" signals duration up to the present → have worked (or "have been working").

Question 14

Choose the correct sentence.

When the main verb is past ("knew"), the reported clause shifts back too: will → would. This is called backshift in reported speech.

Question 15

Choose the correct sentence.

"Lack" is a stative verb — use the simple form: we lack. Also, "lack" never takes "of" directly (you can say "a lack of staff," but the verb is just "lack something").

Question 16

Choose the correct sentence.

"One of" is always followed by a plural noun: one of my team members, one of the companies, one of those ideas. The verb stays singular ("disagrees") because the subject is "one."

Question 17

Choose the correct embedded question.
"I would like to know _____ ."

In indirect/embedded questions, use statement word order — no inversion: what the reason is (not "what is the reason"). The question form only applies to direct questions.

Question 18

Choose the correct sentence.

Never use "more" with a comparative adjective that already ends in -er. "Harder" is already comparative — saying "more harder" is a double comparative and always wrong. (Same: "more bigger," "more faster.")

Question 19

Choose the correct sentence.

"Fun" is an uncountable noun in English — you cannot say "a fun" or "a big fun." The natural phrase is a lot of fun, or "so much fun," or simply "It was fun."

Question 20

Choose the correct sentence.

"Luggage" is uncountable — no article, no plural. For individual items say a suitcase, a bag, or "a piece of luggage." Never "a luggage" or "luggages."
