New Test: Prepositions Test
Filed Under Grammar test | Leave a Comment
Welcome back! Please subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
When learning a new language, prepositions are often the most difficult element to master. They never seem to have any clear rules, and the difference between one and the other is most often idiomatic.
Hence, if you want to speak English like a native speaker of the “standard” dialect, you will simply have to memorize all of the minute rules governing the use of each of the prepositions.
This is a long and arduous process, but you can get started by taking this test.

New Test: Prefix/Suffix Quiz
Filed Under Language test | Leave a Comment
A prefix is a series of letters placed at the beginning of a word which change its meaning such as “re-” “bi-” or “omni-”
A suffix is the corresponding c0ncept transplanted to the end of a word such as “-icity” “-able” or (to include on in Spanish) “ito”
This test will examine your knowledge of suffixes and prefixes in English. If you need to brush up before taking this test, I strongly recommend having a look through Webster’s dictionary in the appendix. You’ll find plenty of helpful information there.

This Spanish language test is based on the Common European Framework of Languages, a standard which most European governments see as valid for determining language ability. After taking this test, you will be assigned a level between A1 and B1. There are higher levels in the framework, but they are not included in this test.
If you have studied Spanish before, chances are that you will be able to place into at least A2. Unlike most Spanish tests online, this one should give you a fairly accurate estimation of your abilities.

Some nous in English are “count nouns,” and others are not.
Some examples of count nouns include:
Dog,
Bottle,
Airplane,
Computer,
Book.
All of these nouns can be counted. You could have “one book” or “two books” etc.
Some “non-count” nouns include:
Milk,
Water,
Peace,
Air
You can’t have “a milk” or “one milk” or “two milks,” although you could just have “milk” or “some milk” or “a glass of milk.” Non-count nouns are expressed only in amounts, not in numbers, because they don’t exist as discrete units.
Take this test to see how well you can identify both count and non-count nouns.

For example, when is it correct to say “get off” and when is it correct to say “get out”?
This is the type of subtle grammatical nuance that native speakers understand automatically but that non-native speakers sometimes have trouble with. Even people who’ve been studying the language for several years may benefit from taking this quick test.

New Test: Tenses in English
Filed Under English test, Grammar test, Language test | Leave a Comment
One of the most difficult parts of learning to speak and write in English is learning the proper uses of the many tenses of English verbs, especially because the more complex tenses are formed using multiple helping verbs.
This is a timed test that will examine your mastery of this aspect of the English language. If you are a native speaker of “standard” American English, chances are that you will answer 14-15 of these questions correctly.
If you have trouble, you may want to spend a little time brushing up on your English grammar.
