If You Think Your English Is Good, Anything Under 24/30 In This Quiz Will Sting A Bit

14

ADVERTISEMENT

English can be sneaky – one wrong word, a missing apostrophe, or a mixed-up homophone can throw a sentence off. In this quiz, you’ll get 30 sentences, each with a mistake to find. Spot the error and type it in: sometimes you’ll enter the corrected word, sometimes rewrite the sentence, and sometimes delete the extra word. Keep it clean and simple – one precise fix is all it takes. Ready? Let’s go! ✏️🔍

    Whether "Let's Eat Grandma!" (#24) needs correction depends entirely on the intended menu.

    27. you can just remove "don't" or "no". "any" is not needed.

    Gave up, don't want to type out full sentences. Besides I don't think BP knows what is correct.

    Some consistency in the form of answer required might help, BP.

    Stopped half way through, as it was marking correct answers as wrong.

    was happening to me as well. The ones where you have to type the whole sentence, it must include the full-stop at the end for some reason. Also, the questions alternate between typing only the incorrect word, only the correct word or the whole sentence so i had to re-read the questions to make sure which was which :) It's a BP quiz so the standards aren't exactly stellar ;)

    Am pleasantly surprised at the "hanged"; it's a small bugbear for me when people say hung. Curtains are hung, people are hanged.

    I failed at this (figuratively) because I can't read. I kept trying to add what needed changing as opposed to what the changed word should be or vice versa. Serves me right for hardly reading anything properly and just scanning, I suppose.

    In British English (real English, not American), " lead" is used for both present and past tense.

    No it isn't. 'Led' is the correct past tense.
