Grammar and punctuation

[Colin Phillips]

Anyone fancy a grammar and punctuation test?

From the Guardian site:

I'm quite pleased with 12/14.

I wasn't familiar with word 'gerund'.

I've no chance.

 

[SlimChance]

I've no chance.

You scored 9 out of a possible 14

 

[granger]

5

 

[Melendez]

11. The "show answers" doesn't work, so I don't know if I got the ones I made informed guesses about right or got lucky with uninformed guesses.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

11 / 14

 

[qzy]

12/14

 

[chroniclandlord]

10/14, I got three of the last four wrong.

 

[Brochdoll]

Got 12 out of 14 as well Have to admit a few were guesswork or informed guesses!

1 and 13 wrong and had no idea what an atonym or prepostional phase was so happy enough with that!

My teacher wife has just got 14/14, there is hope for education.

 

[Euronymous]

You scored 11 out of a possible 14

 

[Dave G]

10/14. I got the last four all wrong.

Thankfully she isn't teaching me Euro. I'm too old a dog to learn new tricks.

 

[Tout Seul]

11/14 First 10 correct. Had no idea about active voice. Looking it up I am annoyed at getting it wrong.

 

[walsworth]

11/14, 8,13 and 14 wrong.

 

[Bar the Bull]

12/14. I got the active voice question wrong, as well as the prepositional phrase question.

I am a bit disappointed, if I am honest. Being 7.14% better at grammar and punctuation than Melendez feels like a pretty low ebb.

 

[Desert Orchid]

14. I'd have been very disappointed, not to say very embarrassed, to have got fewer than that...

 

[Bar the Bull]

I thought you'd do worser.

 

[Desert Orchid]

I thought the test was slightly flawed too. The correct term is 'imperative' rather than 'command', for example.

 

[simmo]

A disappointing 9 for me.

 

[an capall]

15

 

[Bar the Bull]

Your the best their is, AC.

 

[Desert Orchid]

A command performance.

 

[trudij]

I got 8... No great suprise, Im a dunce !!!

 

[BennyB]

12/14 for me
