Grammar Revision Questions with Solutions
English grammar is the foundation for almost every verbal ability question, from spotting errors and sentence improvement to fill in the blanks and cloze tests. This topic brings together a complete revision of the core rules: parts of speech, tenses, subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, pronouns, adjectives and adverbs, conjunctions, modals, active and passive voice, and direct and indirect speech. The questions here are mixed, just like in the exam, so you practise recognising which rule a question is testing. The most frequently tested rules are subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, the correct use of articles ("a", "an", "the"), and fixed preposition combinations such as "differ from" and "comply with". If you keep getting a particular type wrong, go back to its own topic page for focused practice. Practise the mixed grammar questions below. Each solution names the rule being tested.
