ELTIS - English Language Test for International Students Grammar and Sentence Structure Practice Test 2

Question 1

Choose the sentence that is grammatically correct.

Accepted Answer

She doesn't know the answer to the question.

Answer

With a third-person singular subject ('she'), the auxiliary verb must be 'doesn't' (does + not), and the main verb stays in its base form 'know' — not 'knows'.

Question 2

Fill in the blank: 'He _____ to school every day when he was young.'

Accepted Answer

walked

Answer

The phrase 'when he was young' signals a past habitual action, so the simple past tense 'walked' is correct.

Question 3

Which sentence uses articles correctly?

Accepted Answer

They adopted a dog from an animal shelter.

Answer

'A' is used before consonant sounds and 'an' before vowel sounds. 'A dog' is correct (consonant sound), and 'an animal shelter' is correct (vowel sound).

Question 4

Choose the correct pronoun to complete the sentence: 'The teacher gave _____ the assignment yesterday.'

Accepted Answer

us

Answer

After a verb like 'gave', an object pronoun is needed. 'Us' is the object form of 'we', while 'we' is a subject pronoun and cannot be used here.

Question 5

Which sentence correctly uses a conjunction to join two ideas?

Accepted Answer

She was tired, but she finished her homework.

Answer

A comma is placed before a coordinating conjunction ('but') when it joins two independent clauses. No additional comma is needed after 'but'.
