Answer is, “Yes I can.” As others say, we had excellent teachers in schools in the 50’s, and we were made to sit and listen.
👍
aced it as well. I went to school in the 60's, before standards started to slip. We had rote-learning; do I have say it again? "we had rote learning" Again....?
I answered 85 percent of the question s
And today, teachers rejoice when a student doesn't try to kill the teacher.
I answered 3 questions incorrectly
100% ! I am 76 years old !! I was blessed to have been taught by demanding and outstanding teachers ❤️!!!
Great 👍
My parents spoke impeccable English.
You are fortunate. I had Maleficent for four years. My primary school years. My father took us to the United States. The teachers here made a great effort to teach me American English. I was skilled in that language after one year. After two years, I was as proficient as my peers. A teacher can be psycho. There was mutual animosity between me and that teacher. What's worse, in those days a teacher could whack a child without any fear of reprisal!
I went to school in the 70s, just before education became more liberal. This stuff was drilled into us early on.
@@llamasugar5478 Yeah, like elementary school in my experience. Once past 6th grade, it was a matter of building upon a foundation instill in those early years.
I got 100%. But like many of you have replied, I was taught proper English when I went to school. They drilled this stuff into us. One pet peeve that I do have though is people in upper management positions who CAN'T speak proper English. I would think with the amount of schooling some of these folks take that somewhere along the line they would have been taught how to speak properly. I don't have much respect for a supervisor when I can speak better than they do.
You don't even speak English good...weird
correct English would use "correct" instead of "proper"!
@@rumbazamba2283 You mean "You don't even speak English well" LMAO
And who told you that a person is only eligible of respect if he knows how to speak "correct" English ?
@@paulywhit2783 She said "properly" which is correct.
Got all correct 💯.We had great Grammar teachers in the 1960s, including my Teacher Mom! Enjoyed this. Thanks from Bombay/Mumbai, India.
Glad you liked it, Venzina Nairyani
I am 70 years of age, from Finland. English was my fourth language and had English lessons for 2 years. Since then English has become my number one language, without actually learning any grammar. To my surprise I scored 19/20.
Good on you👍
Funny, you did better than good, there were only 18 questions and you got 19 correct! WOW
@@jenniferwells9032 Check "Good on you"? S/B Good for you

100%. I’m 72, it was basic grammar, in this old girls humble opinion. Good for retaining the tiny grey cells.😂
👍
girl's!
Any native English speaker should be able to ace this. I did, but didn't learn any of this in school.
The sentence should have been “Hey, MAY I ask you something?”
Who all knows what an "oblique" sign is?
I'm 14 years old... I really had fun solving these grammar questions... thank you 😊
100%. I was at school from 1948 to 1959. Am amazed at how easy these questions and answers are. They can be answered by six year-olds.
100%. I’m 67 years of age and we were taught this at the elementary school level. Did a lot of diagramming sentences. So happy I grew up when I did.
Thanks for sharing, Joanne Callari
This is for 5th graders when I went to school.
My all-time favorite activity was diagramming sentences! Loved it, and did it instinctively for years after graduation.
@@donnaalbert443 Yes, I could still diagram a sentence, and I'm 80. My grandchildren have no idea what diagramming a sentence is. I'm not sure whether their father, a PhD, knows, either!
I remember diagramming sentences. I enjoyed those, unless I had to do so at the chalk board!
I got all correct. Actually, we were taught very good English in school by our English teacher Mr. Daniel. After teaching us English to an advanced level, he told us to go by the sound of a sentence. If the sentence sounded correct and was flowing, then it was perfect from the grammar and composition point of view.
Thanks for sharing, Nagesh Cavatur
I believe we learned most of the grammar on our own. There is never enough time for teachers to teach grammatical rules to students.
……
@@henrymatthews4344 That is so sad to hear. I'm 54 and have excellent grammer, I can read and spell well. I had fantastic english teachers and a Mother who was ADIMENT that I spoke properly. I'm so grateful!
Fortunately, I had a high understanding of what sounds right so I could pass my classes. Having to say why it was right was beyond me,
Woah 100% . Not a native, 19 YO. This was so easy, thanks for boosting my confidence in English grammar 🤗🌹

good for you...kids are not taught as we were in the 50s...
@@pjj9491 actually we are, we literally learn all of this still. I assume the last time were in school was the in 50s, so how would you know?
100%. I don’t see how anyone with English as a first language could not get full marks. But I am nearly 70 so also fit into the “ I was force fed this stuff at school” group
100% Score, Yes when I went to school you used your brain, not a laptop or calculator in sight. Great Quiz Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
100% correct for me, too. We would have known most of this in Primary School in Australia.
@@JudeAussie Hi Judy, HA HA totally true, thanks for your lovely reply. 😃👍
Even laptop language has made proper spelling impossible. U, EZ,Wat, sez and at least one word per post is FU'd. A pencil made you use your brain. A eraser made you rethink you answer. And recess gave you time to associate with others. Everything doesn't need to be abbreviated.
@@michaelfreeman9144 Absolutely agree with you, totally correct. Cheers Ruth from Australia 🇦🇺⚘😊
I hate boomers
20/20. I’m amazed I’ve retained all this. I’m 74. Loved school. Teachers were great motivators.
Amazing!
Really?
Really, there were only 18 questions; I am impressed.
@@imagik2446 however many. 220-221 as in Mr. Mom movie.
@@imagik2446 hey Keith smith. This a bit embarrassing. Thanks for setting me straight.😖
I’m 77 Catholic upbringing, loved English and Math, handwriting to this day lots of compliments, great schooling..
Wonderful!
I also went to Catholic School for 12 years. Always had beautiful penmanship, at 66 I still get compliments on my writing. Thanks to my mother and the Sisters of Saint Joseph.👍👍👍
My wife did as well she hates people not knowing basic grammar including spelling! Abbreviations are her pet hate...
I'm 70 and often asked if I took special courses for my penmanship...wow...lol
This was easy. We were taught good and correct English in our private school in our country run by Belgian nuns. I truly am indebted to our English teachers for teaching us the correct spelling, punctuation, pronunciation, and communication.
100%. I'm in my 60s also and this stuff was drilled into us at elementary school as were basic arithmetic, algebra and fractions.
I'm with you on this. It was like first grade English for me.
@@randydargartz3721 Yes, seemed easy. Perhaps it's the age group we're in.
@@moviemakerwannabe perhaps it’s the age group in which we belong. 🤗. Kidding you. Don’t end a sentence with a preposition either. Remember ? 😁
Aced it. Not that it wasn't that hard
I went to Catholic school . We were driven hard on spelling, grammar, punctuation and penmanship.
I went to school in the 60s. For the past 10 years I have taught Latin at the college level. Students are not learning this, and many have an appalling lack of knowledge about the past tense and past participle-- in English. One student was on his way to an M.A. in English. After a few days he came up to me and was furious that no one-- not grade school, not high school, nor the professors of English had EVER mentioned parts of speech,, grammatical uses of parts of speech,, or principal parts of verbs. I told him was the victim of educational fraud.
I am German, I got an idiom wrong. But English grammar is soooooo easy. But I have my latinum, meaning 5 years of Latin in school.
What has happened to breaking down a sentence, every word has it's own story, people just are not taught this any more. Did a little experiment at work. I work at the Shaw Festival Theatre, big outfit, 5 stages, 500 employees from housekeeper's to actors. I could not find anyone that knew that a "forward slash" is actually an oblique sign. Of course I didn't speak to everyone, but I'm a bit of an extravert and have worked there for 15 years, love to talk. I interviewed tons of people. I was really surprised that I never found one that remembered this from English class. I'm 69 years old. Even started to doubt myself and looked it up to be sure! LOL!!
Do you know what a pound sign is called in computer-speak?
@@kitefan1 I'd like to know, please reveal.
I'm a 77 yr. old Sri Lankan. Studied at a convent school in Colombo. My score was 100%. We had excellent teachers then.
100%, but I'm in my fifties and I JUST LOVE correct grammar!
Nice score, dear Cindy Braatz
Same here.

Well dun !
@@Boz-works my word blind grandfather used to say, d-o-n, don; d-o-n-e, donny; d-u-n, done.

Great job!
Missed 1. We were taught well in the 50s.
100%. I can’t image anyone past the age of 8 not getting the same score.
100%. Some of these videos were designed for speakers who are new to English. I suspect this is one of them.
Obviously you've never read, some of the posts on facebook!
I got 100% also; it was a very easy test, but not for an 8 year old. Children that young haven’t learned all of that grammar yet.
I think you meant imagine 😉
Igot, 98ppercent out of a hundred. Lol.
100% I’m in my 60’s we were taught this well at school 🥰
Hi Anne. I'm 70 and people of my generation were also taught grammar. If we turned in an assignment with spelling or grammar errors, we lost marks. The questions that form this "test" remind me of what we learned as part of Grade 3 grammar. I cringe when I hear words used incorrectly, split infinitives, the use of "good" instead of "well" and the ultimate betrayal of the English language, "your" instead of "you're.". I guess my age is showing. I'm in Canada and the education system here is far from perfect. From what I understand, children in elementary school are not being taught penmanship. This is appalling! Those are my complaints for now. COVID has made me crankier than usual!
@@lovesmusic36 LOL, COVID has made most of us cranky! Hang in there! Scary times, especially for those of us who are older. In all fairness, the only practical use for cursive now is as a skill necessary for reading older writings. Sadly, “penmanship” has become superfluous. But, I also cringe at how bad grammar is so pervasive today. One of my pet peeves is the use of the adjective ‘everyday’, not as an adjective, but where ‘every day’ is really what is meant. Language always changes over time, but this feels more like a disintegration!
@@altitudeiseverything3163 Cursive is necessary, I believe, if only to be able to sign your name. I use cursive "every day!" Sorry, I had to work that in! I make lists and notes. I don't think I'd want to print by hand everything when I need to put pen to paper. I also write children's picture books, essays, song lyrics and poetry. Occasionally I prefer to do that by hand rather than on the computer. Again, having to print rather than use cursive writing would be very time consuming. Another irritating grammatical error is when I hear radio personalities reporting traffic and use "alternate route" when it should be "alternative." Social media and texting (the most irritating form of communication) have destroyed the English language. I think I should stop here. I'm aggravating myself! Stay well. Best regards from Canada!
@@lovesmusic36 I agree with *all* of that and I use cursive every day, too! I find printing awkward, slow, and less expressive. But aside from signatures, it does seem to be becoming somewhat obsolete, at least for young people. A shame, really. My best to you, too! ❤️
ME TOO
This is a good, challenging test for non-native speakers. Frankly, this isn't taught enough to native speakers. I taught English composition for 12 years in Cambodia and we always began with the parts of speech. They are the building blocks of writing. Writing becomes easier once you understand the parts of speech and their function in forming sentences. You then learn sentence structure and after that move on to single and multiple paragraphs. I'd encourage any non-native speakers to spend time learning and identifying the parts of speech. [I got 100%, so I'm guessing I learned something myself while teaching!].
Thanks for sharing.
100%, but I'm 75 and went to school when they taught this stuff.
They are still teaching this stuff. Trouble is, no one is sitting up and taking notice...
All the modern tech has introduced so much jargon into the English language as well as American English that it has fallen on deaf ears.
@@richmck007 Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that grammar is still being taught. As I said above, I'm 75. In all of those years I have never known the need for clear communication more than I do in 2020.
@@Mikerochip1 Globalization, pure and utter globalization!
100% too also same age!

I tested my 7 year old nephew, he only got one wrong, hit the sack. He thought it was the funniest things he had ever heard, but sure it’s now part of his vocabulary come bedtime.

Should it be thing?
I would suggest including punctuation on these tests. Most of my students struggle with comma's, semicolons, colons, etc.
Oh dear mr Woelke. There is no apostrophe in commas. It's a Plural noun. I am also sick of Americans using double negatives
"I never done nothing." If you've NEVER DONE NOTHING, you must have done something. The correct grammar is "I have done nothing."
@@patryan1375 Have you noticed spell correct insists on punctuation where it does not belong?
Good idea!
I would've been one of those students 😂😂😂
@@moviemakerwannabe yes i have. I also wish that people would learn the difference between there and their. My children used to call me the grammar police.👮♀️ Now my students at university have to be corrected. 🎓
Very simple - this grammar was taught at school. Idioms came later in life. I am now 75 and wonder why education strayed away from the grammar curriculum in the first place. However it does explain the relatively high level of illiteracy prevalent in many young people.
'At the same time' and 'in the same time' can both be correct depending on the type of test such as a written exam or a speed trial.
Both could finish a test e.g. at 10.00 am on the same day or both could finish at test eg in 3 minutes 20 seconds.
But this was testing which preposition goes with the specific expression “ the same time “ ..... and not a time expression e.g. “ 10 minutes “
Kate and I both finished the test at the same time. = Kate and I finished the test at the same 'moment' in time.
Kate and I both finished the test in the same time. = Kate and I finished the test in the same 'amount' of time.
Both the above answers correctly use the prepositions 'in' and 'at' in the sentence stated in the question.
Not true...you failed
Exactly what I was going to say
@@albertvickery2234 Sorry but the way it was writing: Both finished…….the same time. It was more than clear it must be “at”
Rolling my eyes. I can’t believe anyone born in the US would fail this test.
You’re an optimist, aren’t you? 😂
I am off Facebook for many reasons but the one that applies here....when people write a post like “when I gone to the store the other day I bringed my kid with me and we seen a rabbit. This drives me nuts! We need more public schools. NOT!
Ikr
OK...understand that the point of these “tests” is to get you to click on their site. So if they make it semi easy you feel good about it and are more likely to do another one...then RUclips starts pushing ‘em at you. It’s about money.
I can believe a lot of people would fail!!
100%. I'm 68. And I realize that there are kids in the nation right now that cannot pass even half of this test.

This happens all over the world, unfortunately
I got 14/18 , 66 years old from the Philippines , with this I remember our peace Corp volunteer teacher Mr Frank Quinby , that was 1967 , in grade 5 and I was 11 years old. He handled the English class for grades 4 and 5 for a month!
I just turned 69, and got all correct. I sent this to my two daughters with college degrees and neither one scored 100. Education is more about transgender rights. We’re living in sick times.
I'm also in my 60's, and I also scored 100%. As for degrees, I learned a long time ago that a person can have more degrees than a thermometer and still be an uneducated dolt!
@@badczech8485 Very true but I can’t throw my daughters under the bus , as some day they may read this. I still love ‘em,though.
@@rayolson7475 Sir, I never suggested that you should throw your daughters under the bus, nor that you should (or ever could) cease to love them! I was merely making a distinction between the education that those in our generation received and the trivial fluff that has been disguised as education since.
All the best to your and yours!
@@badczech8485 I didn’t take you wrong. There’s a lot of truth in that statement. Just keeping the peace in my family. I appreciate you comment.
@@badczech8485 No worries......I completely understand the sentiment of the statement. One of my aunts had a masters degree in education yet would get lost driving home on occasion. A lot of brains but no sense.

@Ismail: If you got 18 out of 18, is it absolutely necessary to say what score you got in each test?
I got all of them correct. I went to school in the 50's and 60's. English was taught with the expectations that you would learn it well.
👍
I would argue that "hitting the sack" is better defined as "going to bed", rather than "going to sleep" as you can hit the sack and not sleep, if you have insomnia!
AGREED.
The Test is focus’s on English Grammar - not slang.
@@WildlifeObsessed I'm afraid I am at loss as to what point you are making. Slang, is irrelevant in this context.
A little pedantic I would say...if I declare that I am "hitting the sack" as I leave the lounge and say good night...one assumes I am off to bed!..i may have s@x...but I have said I am off to bed...what I do there is irrelevant
You can also go to bed but not go to sleep if you having insomnia. Now that said I do agree with you I have always used the term hitting the sack for going to bed.

This is a test for a 4th grade grammar school child.
Just look on Facebook or any other media these days and you can see clearly that people with college “degrees” can’t even apply this language in everyday conversation. 4th graders are still being ingrained with liberal hate and politics.
Nowadays a 12th grader couldn't pass this.
Arizona Mom .... An educated person understands that there are varying levels of learning abilities, and to SOME individuals, this kind of test would prove to be quite difficult. Therefore, I will have to mark you down for that ignorant comment, which some might find hurtful.
That's what I thought. I thought it was a joke...
It was a long time ago. Not now.
The meanings of idioms has nothing to do with grammar, unless the question relates to whether the words in an idiom break grammatical rules.
this is a grammer test... idioms *have nothing to do with grammer... 🤣
100%. I am in my early 60's. Maybe it is a generation thing - I was waiting for the answers to get harder as the quiz went on. Found it very easy but English and grammar was drummed into me at school. I know how an apostrophe works!
All correct
Andrea G - same here. When I went to school, teachers were not afraid to let you know your mistakes. It's the only way to learn how to get it right.
So then you'd get that when you're talking about 2 or more things to be described then "were" would be used and not was

It means you know a lot of things than we do. We should count our age by life experiences, not years. Please feel free to share your experiences with learners here.
100%, overall pretty easy. Interestingly, in question 2 in the preposition for time section, either answer is correct, but they have different meanings: the preferred (correct) "at the same time" means they took the test together and finished together; "in the same time" could mean they took the test at different times but each took the same amount of time to complete the test.

I had a score of 100% , largely due to my parents teaching me that proper English was the only way to speak our language. Because I knew quite a bit before hand, English classes at school were easy for me.

There are a lot of people born in English speaking countries who don’t even know the difference between “to” and “too”. Some of them need to go back to school.
@@ilovesuisse1 There are a lot of British who don't understand the progressive form of verbs. They say things like "was sat" instead of "was sitting"; then there is the British discard of the comparative form of the adjective "good". They don't say "good" "BETTER" "best", but everything is "best"; "best do this", "this is best" etc. Infuriates me no end! And what's this sudden dropping of the word "disappear"? They now say (and it's crept into American English as well), "gone missing!" What the...." "Disappeared" has been used for over a century and all of a sudden we're now talking like 3-year-olds? Why? Why? WHY?
@@EnglishTestBlog I would say to people whose mother tongue is English as well.🤣🤣🤣
Even for them it is not challenging enough, though a true beginner may cry his dismay.
100%. I went to school in the days when we were actually taught something of value, rather than today’s rubbish. 👵🏻 83
❤
Its not rubbish
@@TheEmilarOMG You are entitled to your opinion, but I have eleven grandchildren, most of whom rely on spell check on their computers because they are not taught to spell. They also rely upon calculators, because they are not taught basic mathematics. What would happen if all electrical appliances should fail. None of the youngsters would know what to do next. They can’t, sew, they cannot knit, they haven’t a clue how to survive.
@@mothermary3200 so true
This was an excellent test. Even though, I was born in America, I learned standard English in school. However, there are so many American born citizens who will be unable to pass this test or they will miss several questions. Has anyone ever wondered why the educators in America make Americans take English in school?
Thank you very much for sharing!
I am 58 and I am Mexican and I usted to learn English as second Language with lots of grammar and structure. I loved learning it as perfect as a native at those times. Certainly after some years I became an English Tutor in my town.. I love teaching it..
@@luciagonzalez9065, great to hear this.
I got the perfect score, 18 pts. or 100%. I'm 67, a Filipina Math teacher. I had very good English teachers during my school days, from Elementary to College.
Well done, Trina Cabaliza
EXCELLENT WAY OF TESTING MEMORY.
Excellent
Yes
I got 100% correct. But the writer of this quiz needs a grammar lesson. A “someone” is not a “they.”
Also may I ask you a question not can I !
@@bobnewmanknott3433 Yes. But I just figured that mistake was intentional to get our attention.
I believe “they” is acceptable nowadays. The alternative would be he/she, since there’s no indication as to gender. Still, I always struggle with it when I’m writing.
@@susanchampagne1166 I know. I’ve heard it is now acceptable, but I have a lot of trouble accepting it!
"Go out on a limb and hitting the sack" were new to me I haven't heard them before) as for the rest I've got it done pretty well.
👍
These aren’t really fair for recent immigrants. They are expressions going back many, many years.
During colonial times, a bed’s mattress was often a sack filled with anything soft, including such things as hay. Going out on a limb meant taking a big risk. Be careful going out on a limb. If you go too far, it might break off.
100% as well.....age 70.....back when EDUCATION stood for LEARNING AND CRITICAL THINKING 🤔 🙄 😊 READIN' WRITIN' and 'RITHMATIC😂

Thanks for sharing!
Also 75 and taught very well at school. Today youngsters don't talk properly and often miss the end letter of a word off so don't know how to correctly spell words. What happened to the weekly spelling tests we used to have?
100% on this one , basic stuff we learned in elementary school .
❤
Thanks for this test. Although it was not difficult, I still found it worthwhile to check my English.
Glad it helped!
Perfection! Stunning and interesting quiz. I didn't make any mistakes. 😊
Well done!
