English Errors Quiz: If You Claim To Have Good Language Skills, This Is Your Chance To Prove It

I give up. I wrote out the full sentence “It is a great day to go hiking.” To be told it was incorrect, which I can only assume was because I capitalised the first letter. Also there are no full stops on any of the sentence examples. A waste of time to even try this quiz.

The answer for Number 5 was wrong, so I couldn't even work it out it. It needs 2 words added! "She HAD better BE prepared next time if she wants to pass the exam"

Absolutely every sentence is missing a period at the end which makes absolutely every answer wrong. In #6 and #11, the contracted form isn't accepted even though the answer explanation says that it's acceptable. #9 doesn't have a comma before the conjunction, so it's doubly wrong. In #12, "the famous croissant" implies that there is only one. Using "one of the famous croissants" would be better, and using "one of their famous croissants" would be better still unless they're not actually made by anybody and pop out of thin air. In #13, "than most people" includes people that are not even in the race, so he could still be last place. Using "than most other participants" would be better. In #15, "the cat's tail" is redundant. Using "his tail" would be better.

So much wrong with this quiz!

Ok, i wrote 20 out 8 times. 8 F-ing times. Every time is said incorrect, I click "I give up" and it gives me NO ANSWER!?!? Like what the AF did i type wrong? I even added a full stop at the end, removed it. Everytime it was apparently wrong?!?!? It would have been nice to know what it was MEANT to be. Oh, and 6 - I put an apostrophe in, as it was written that way, but thats wrong. Type "It is..." and answer says that "it's" would have been acceptable. This was 🐕 💩

On 3 occasions the quiz marked my correct answers as incorrect!

Why are there still letters cut off?

As with many quizzes on BoredPanda, questions are rife with errors. Number 4, for example, is missing a period at the end of the sentence and there is a comma in the middle of the sentence even though (see what I did there?) there is a subordinating clause that comes next. I was fixated on those common errors and didn't notice that although the word 'badly' was modifying the verb 'feel', in this context, it should be the adjective form. As a suggestion, perhaps BoredPanda quiz creators could have a cross-checking session before publication to see if their obscure mistakes are not outshone by a multitude of other errors. I stopped after #4. This quiz wasn't worth my time.

I gave up. A few of those have multiple mistakes. Unless the colored boxes are too large for the page and some words are missing.

One word: Shít.

Number 2. What's wrong about their going to the store at the moment?

Just a little pedantic note, "he's been working here since 3 months". This was how it would have been phrased in the 16th/17th C. This form is still used in some communities in the north of England. It isn't wrong, it's just old.

I stupidly did it and got NO feedback at all. I think l got them right but l haven't received the answers. What a waste of time

Only missed the last one. What was the answer?

Why is the text in image form? If it was text, I could copy-paste instead of writing out the whole thing. I refuse to complete the assignment.

Go back to high school grammar and comp, Selin! Oh, wait, you DID go to school recently; you used 'their' when you meant 'his or her' -- or made the antecedent plural to agree with the plural pronoun.
