ELTIS - English Language Test for International Students Grammar and Sentence Structure Practice Test 3

Question 1

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Accepted Answer

She doesn't like vegetables.

Answer

With third-person singular subjects (she, he, it), the negative form uses 'does not' (doesn't) followed by the base form of the verb — 'like', not 'likes'.

Question 2

Fill in the blank: 'He _____ to school every day by bus.'

Accepted Answer

goes

Answer

For simple present tense with a third-person singular subject ('he'), the verb must take the '-s' ending: 'goes'.

Question 3

Which sentence correctly uses the present perfect tense?

Accepted Answer

I have already eaten dinner.

Answer

The present perfect is formed with 'have/has' + the past participle. 'Eaten' is the correct past participle of 'eat', and 'already' is properly placed before the past participle.

Question 4

Choose the correct article to complete the sentence: 'She wants to become _____ engineer.'

Accepted Answer

an

Answer

'An' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. 'Engineer' starts with the vowel sound /ɛ/, so 'an engineer' is correct.

Question 5

Which sentence shows correct subject-verb agreement?

Accepted Answer

Each of the boys is responsible for his work.

Answer

'Each' is always singular and takes a singular verb ('is'). 'The news' is uncountable and singular ('is'), and 'neither of' with a singular verb is the standard formal rule.
