Grammar and Sentence Structure Practice Test 6 Flashcards

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Answer: She doesn't like to eat vegetables.

With a third-person singular subject (she/he/it), the auxiliary 'does' already carries the negation, so the main verb stays in its base form: 'doesn't like'.

Choose the sentence that uses articles correctly.

Answer: She adopted a puppy from a shelter.

'A puppy' is correct because 'puppy' begins with a consonant sound and is mentioned for the first time (indefinite). 'A shelter' is also correct for the same reason.

Which sentence is written in the correct future tense?

Answer: We will go to the park tomorrow.

After the modal verb 'will,' the base form of the verb (without -s, -ed, or -ing) must be used: 'will go'.

Fill in the blank: 'Neither the teacher nor the students _____ ready for the surprise inspection.'

Answer: were

With 'neither...nor,' the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. Since 'students' (plural) is closest, the verb must be plural: 'were'.

Choose the sentence with the correct use of an adjective.

Answer: He ran the race faster than his teammate.

'Fast' is an irregular adverb whose comparative form is 'faster,' not 'more fast' or 'more fastly.' Adding 'more' to a one-syllable comparative like 'faster' is redundant and incorrect.
