ELTIS - English Language Test for International Students Grammar and Sentence Structure Practice Test 6 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which sentence is grammatically correct?
- She don't like to eat vegetables.
- She doesn't likes to eat vegetables.
- She doesn't like to eat vegetables. (Correct answer)
- She not like to eat vegetables.
Correct answer: She doesn't like to eat vegetables.
With a third-person singular subject (she/he/it), the auxiliary 'does' already carries the negation, so the main verb stays in its base form: 'doesn't like'.
Question 2: Choose the sentence that uses articles correctly.
- She adopted an puppy from the shelter.
- She adopted a puppy from a shelter. (Correct answer)
- She adopted the puppy from an shelter.
- She adopted puppy from the shelter.
Correct answer: She adopted a puppy from a shelter.
'A puppy' is correct because 'puppy' begins with a consonant sound and is mentioned for the first time (indefinite). 'A shelter' is also correct for the same reason.
Question 3: Which sentence is written in the correct future tense?
- We will went to the park tomorrow.
- We will goes to the park tomorrow.
- We will going to the park tomorrow.
- We will go to the park tomorrow. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: We will go to the park tomorrow.
After the modal verb 'will,' the base form of the verb (without -s, -ed, or -ing) must be used: 'will go'.
Question 4: Fill in the blank: 'Neither the teacher nor the students _____ ready for the surprise inspection.'
- was
- were (Correct answer)
- is
- are
Correct answer: were
With 'neither...nor,' the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. Since 'students' (plural) is closest, the verb must be plural: 'were'.
Question 5: Choose the sentence with the correct use of an adjective.
- He ran the race more fastly than his teammate.
- He ran the race more fast than his teammate.
- He ran the race faster than his teammate. (Correct answer)
- He ran the race more faster than his teammate.
Correct answer: He ran the race faster than his teammate.
'Fast' is an irregular adverb whose comparative form is 'faster,' not 'more fast' or 'more fastly.' Adding 'more' to a one-syllable comparative like 'faster' is redundant and incorrect.
