New Test: English Speaking Test

Anyone who has tried to learn a second language knows that pronunciation is one of the hardest things that you have to learn. You may have great reading skills, but if your pronunciation is off native speakers may have a very difficult time understanding what you are trying to say.
This is especially true when you are learning English, because English pronunciation is less phonetic than in other languages such as Spanish and French.
This English Speaking Test will help you find out if your pronunciation is correct or incorrect.

New Test: Helping Verb Test
Filed Under English test | Leave a Comment
You know those tiny little verbs that almost don’t seem like verbs at all because they don’t indicate easily definable actions?
Verbs like, “am,” “is,” “will,” “have,” etc.?
Well, these cranky little verbs can be quite a nuisance to scholars of the honorable language of the former British Empire (English, that is).
The rules governing when it is versus when it is not appropriate to use a particular helping verb have historically been very difficult for some students of our language to grasp.
Now it is your turn to learn these rules inside and out by taking this online quiz.
