Perhaps You Should Consider Trying Again
Shame, that's a low score. This means you may have a small problem with grammar and it may be time to brush up on your basic English skills. Take a look at the answers to see what we mean.
 
Nicely Done!
You probably read quite a bit, and if not perhaps love the English language, because your score is quite good! You have completed the sentences correctly, and that means you probably do NOT need to practice your grammar. However, have a look at the answers to see where we lead you astray.
 
Outstanding!
Wow, you really mastered this quiz! Your level of English is really high, and you can probably speak like a native or ARE a native English speaker, and can probably teach it to others, as you seem to know the rules and how to form a good sentence.
