ELTIS - English Language Test for International Students Grammar and Sentence Structure Practice Test 6

Question 1

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Accepted Answer

She doesn't like to eat vegetables.

Answer

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.

Accepted Answer

She adopted a puppy from a shelter.

Answer

'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?

Accepted Answer

We will go to the park tomorrow.

Answer

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.'

Accepted Answer

were

Answer

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.

Accepted Answer

He ran the race faster than his teammate.

Answer

'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.
