Hi, I'm an Aussie and I love good grammar spoken correctly. I answered all ten of your questions. Some of your answers I did not agree with but then I am 91 years old and was taught grammar as it was considered correct in those days. Unfortunately not everyone uses grammar as it should be used..
@@SaurabhKandpal-uv4yr : the College Harbrace book of grammar and punctuation (not sure of exact title) is a good reference book, particularly with punctuation
The meaning of words has changed over those years to match the agenda of the woke, wako, liberal, community organizers. If you want to hear "correct English" you first have to understand the "significance of time".
Monsieur, my first grammar book was Wren & Martin - definitely the "old style grammar". Last decade, I referred to Oxford Modern English grammar. Hardly did I find any difference!
@@PS_Tube You made a mistake with your very word. "Monsieur" is masculine gender. "Rae" is feminine gender. Sorry, mate your presumption was incorrect. I'm a girl.
Hi Lucy. I'm a native English-speaking American. I technically missed only one question, but on several of the questions in which both answers were correct, not surprisingly I chose the one most commonly used in The USA. Great quiz! Thank you!
I had them all correct, but I have to admit that I paused the video a little longer than five seconds in two questions. Thank you for sharing these activities. Greetings from Morelia México
I got 9/10 correct. Very tricky subject with so many pet peeves for me. I truly hate when people mash probably and possibly together. Please, make a video about this so everyone understands the use of these two words. Thank you for educating the masses better than most teachers today!
Which one did you not get? I also got 9/10 and just feel curious if it's the same one or a different one? For me it was the one about the use of "will" as an indicator if an annoying habit, I thought "has to" would be there, but it's not really one word, so, not the answer that was expected. "Will" was an option that has been wiped out of my memory at some point 😅
I was confused by this too, as I forgot it was about habit. Even so, I had it stuck in my head that it should simply be ‘plays’ . . . music all night . . .
I got them all correct, which (as a proofreader) I found reassuring. I'm an American who has lived in the UK since the age of four; I was somewhat surprised to see that I had chosen the US alternative in each case.
Thank you Lucy for your lovely Grammar Rules questions. I got 7 out of 10. Lucy, I really love to answer your questions and do tests you give me. Nobody will be a best English teacher as you.
76 year old here who left school at 15 without any certificates of education. I had a successful sales career and got all 10 right. At least I was paying attention whilst at school!
That was very interesting. Thank you, Lucy. I'm an old man now . When we were taught grammar in the 50s and 60s, the rules were more rigid, so it's fascinating to see how what was "wrong" then has crept into general speech.
The funny this is that I got 9/10, and I would never be able to explain why it would be right or wrong , and I'm not a native English speaker. But uses English every single day at work. Thanks Lucy, it was fun
Thank you Lucy, for another interesting lesson of English. Grammar! I knew that would end with me having a not too bad intuiton for choosing the right missing words and correct sentences, without being able to explain the underlying rules. I plain forgot most of them... Actually, I do not even remember a lot of grammar rules of my native language. Does anyone really? My German is still good, I feel the grammar 😘
German is MY birth-language, but I came to Canada at the age of 6 and so lost much of it in the process of learning over the years English, followed by French, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, and relearning German. I am sure that contemporary German has softened many of the hard-rules it once contained, just as English has softened its rules, even though we retain a few die-hides who declaim that "Poor Grammar is something up with which I will not put!"
9/10. I had never heard of using “will” to signify something done habitually. “My neighbour habitually plays music … “ sounds better - to my mind, at least - and is, arguably, a clearer way to express the concept described. However, I accept what you say; it makes reasonable sense, even if it’s not how I’d phrase the statement.
I enjoyed your video. I have helped foreign students with their English via online language apps. I learned more grammar rules correcting their grammar than when I was in school! LOL!! ( I love to hear you talk!!! I am an American from the deep south.)
Great show. I’m no grammar vocabulary expert, but one thing that truly saddens me is the near disappearance of the word “presently.” It found it to be a diplomatic way of saying “I already told you it was coming, now stop pestering me.” Now people use it as a posh way of saying “currently.” By the way, whatever color your sweater (jumper?) is definitely suits you.
Thanks for doing this Lucy. knowing English in this level is a great privilege and thank you for sharing it with the others. I always learn some small things from you! :) Thanks so much!😊
Hello. I'm French and I want to increase my English-speaking. I got a score of 4, so I think I will have a big interest by subscribing to this channel. 😅
Thank you teacher, I've been learning a long time but I'm still having some difficulty with grammar English. I feel that I m getting better as well.❤Hugs.
I majored in English, and yet find Lucy's videos exceptional. My interpreting teacher would've said that "Who does this jacket belong to?" is incorrect, as the accusative is always whom. So he would shout if we said "Who did you see?" in place of "Whom did you see?" And...I say that to regular people around sometimes, and I'm treated as if I were an alien :P
@@B-MeisterNo one sane would listen to any of the eructations coming out of his mouth. Even his own constituency had enough of him, finally, and booted him out. The rest of us rejoiced.
"Whom does this jacket belong to" is interesting, because the same sort of VERY precise grammarians who would insist on 'whom' will also tell you that no sentence should end with a preposition or conjunction. They would all say "To whom..." "Whom did you see?" therefore works better, and would be acceptable to the pedant; but still sounds awkward.
Native speaker. I've always used "an" in front of consonant sounds where first sound of the following word is softer (usually an 'h'). Historic is kind of in the middle ground where it really depends on your pronunciation...if you really lay in that 'h' then say 'a' will sound more natural, but if your 'h' is softer/silent, then 'an' will sound more natural. For the word 'hour' that is always 'an hour' be 'a hour' just sounds weird...almost a glottal stop situation, but with two soft sounds back-to-back. Something I learned was that all grammar concerns oral communication, which gleams true when you mention that you would write 'a historic' yet speaking it depends if you drop the 'h' or not. One more way to confuse those coming into English as a second+ language.
@@iceice6354 Thank you for the information. However, my comment was focused on requesting more advanced grammar content from Ms. Lucy. Her marital status is not relevant to my request. I'm looking forward to learning more about topics like inversion, mixed conditionals, and cleft sentences.
9. I I loved this video, especially as you pointed out the differences between American and English grammar. As an American I no longer place a comma before "and" when I write a series, but it took several years before I was able to do so.
I got 10. But I’m a 60 year old Australian. We actually got taught properly when I went to school. Not the ridiculous hodgepodge of idiocy that’s called an education now.
@@Samphirebythesea Except I'm afraid it isn't. Colloquial, yes; informal, yes. Grammatical? Yes. One of the many many meanings of "to get" is "to become".
I loved your comment at the beginning of the video. Most of my coworkers would run their repirts by me before handing them in. English is my second language and they all knew my English was better than theirs.,
I never formally learned any of those. I keep being surprised that I get stuff right on instinct, not having a clue as to how the rule actually operates. I didn't guess number 8. But I got all the rest... It's amusing how confused I can get when I hear the explanation of something I just do naturally.
ma'am, I love your videos & I really appreciate how easily you educate us about the minute things. I learned from your videos and applied them to Gurully practice tests. My score has improved significantly, but yes this took time& now I feel confident about myself. Thank you and Gurully for boosting my confidence!
Did you really have to think about 'lie' and 'lay' , Lucy ? I don't think they sound tricky for you since you're a native English speaker so you're surely an expert in English grammar 👍😊 by the way, thanks for sharing this valuable knowledge ! ♥️🌹
9/10. The only one I got wrong was no. 8, and I still feel it's not really used as frequently in the simple present, but more frequently to talk about habits in the simple past: "My neighbour would play heavy metal all night long."
English is not my mother tongue. I scored 7 correct answers. Liked the quiz. Am not at all keen about the academic explanations. In fact, I never was able to memorise any of the rules. Got my English by reading books and journals, and yes, by speaking the language. Thank you for spurring my motivation to improve this language which I love.😊
@@kahinaharrache5026 Same. But now I think that 'would' would refer to a past habit or a previous neighbour, whereas 'will' makes it a present, ongoing thing.
I got 10 out of 10, which is not a big deal as I have been teaching English for a long time. In the third question, we can remove the subject "he" as the sentence has two clauses with the same subject. Stay blessed, everyone.
@@pokerformuppetsThe grammatically correct ”Thankfully we’ve moved on from that.” would improve the tone of your whole comment over “. But thankfully we’ve moved on from that.”, in my opinion anyway 😅
When learning English in school I hated grammar! I read a lot, and I thought my grammar was pretty good until I decided to learn Spanish! Because I read a lot my grammar is pretty good but learning another language really showed how bad my English grammar was in some of the more esoteric ways. Now I like it, and, I could say I almost enjoy it, but I'm never going to become an editor!
I asked to be taught English Grammar as a subject in high school but was told it was too complex and not offered. I believe my english expression is reasonably good but only because of my parents, my love of reading and my further education. I am not across things such as 'a negative adverbial' etc. I wish I were so I am going to follow this page.
8. Nice with the small details you have to take into account. I feel I learned something. In the multiple choice questions I would go for the british english answer.
I've now finished. 8/10. Yes, it's good, but I would have loved a 10 so much! I had forgotten the "will" use for habits. My only option was "does", which I know (I do know, hehe) is to stress the action, not to refer to it as a habit. I should've remembered that "would" is sooo frequent for past habits. Overall, I loved your test! Fun, creative, engaging and thrilling (for me, at least). And so informative and atuned to current trends and BE/AmE differences.
Hi Lucy, very interesting and informative. I must comment on question three though....you have used a comma before a conjuction. I was always taught as a kid that this is a big 'no no'. I would also say that qu. 4 really depends on context and the collective noun in question Qu. 6 - always 'an' :) Qu. 7 - again, at school I was always taught not to end a sentence with a short word like 'to' - I realise that English is always evolving but, just because everyone would probably say the second sentence, doesn't make it correct - yet - in my mind :) Qu. 8 - ?? Qu. 10 - Oxford comma....No!! :):) Really enjoyed your presentation. Thanks
10 out of ten. I am grammatically lucky in this case. English is not my first language, as I grew up in working-class, rural Minnesota. Standard American English is my second language, which took me over twenty years of schooling to acquire. 😎
I got all 10. But question 8 is rather odd, because several words can be used to complete the sentence including: will, always, often....Of course, if always or often is used, then the word "play" would be replaced with "plays".
"Of course, if always or often is used, then the word "play" would be replaced with "plays"." Exactly, which is why I'm wondering why you find it odd. "Will" is the only viable option to express a habit, at least in the Present. If it was the past, 'would' could also be used.
That was fun. 10 here, so I guess all that money on an English degree and CELTA qualification paid off 😅 It’s great to see someone who I presume has a similar background doing these videos, keep it up!
First of all Lucy you look amazing greetings from Karachi, Pakistan. I am your big fan since last few years have been seen your tutorials. Lots of love for you and your husband😊
I had one mistake on question nine, by not being able to come up with the word “will”. I wasn’t quick enough. Lucy, love the sentences with two correct answers. Living in Canada, I went with the American response. ❤😊
The 'habit' one completely got me...I thought of always, regularly, periodically, except the answer, 'will' !...I would instead rephrase the question as 'word that will predict the habit'
5 out of ten..i'm watching this video from Bangladesh... English is my second language.. But i have complete my gratulation &post graduation from English literature... So i always try to speak english fluently 🥰🥰🥰
Well...9/10. I didn't know what do do with no. 8. 'Will', at least for me, belonged exclusively to 'future'. Thank you for a very interesting and educational lesson.
9/10. English is my second language. Sadly, I don’t speak my first language, German, anymore. I hope that was grammatically correct. Lol 😅 I do have a question regarding my second sentence. I used commas for the appositive, “German”. I often use the double hyphen for the same purpose, especially when adding a more complex clarification that I don’t want to make into its own sentence. How or when should one use one versus the other? See what I did there? 🤣
This video, shows how grammar is changing, as you mentioned. I have always used singular, when a group is being described. eg. Crowd. It sounds wrong using the plural. A bit like hearing people using premise/premice as the singular of premises (a building, dwelling)
Ok! How did you find that? I loved making this quiz for you! Remember - *get your FREE PDF and exercise pack* _here_ 👉🏼ex.ewl.info/pdf156

Thanks for this nice and helpful lesson
Make this type videos more
Support from india 😊😊😊😊
5 out of 10 - annybody here clapping for me...? 🙂
I am 🎉
I solved all.questions
👏
I got 9/10 correct. Wow! Thank you, Lucy.
I've now finished. 8/10. Yes, it's good, but I would have loved a 10 so much! I had forgotten the "will" use for habits. My only option was "does", which I know (I do know, hehe) is to stress the action, not to refer to it as a habit. I should've remembered that "would" is sooo frequent for past habits.
Overall, I loved your test! Fun, creative, engaging and thrilling (for me, at least). And so informative and atuned to current trends and BE/AmE differences.
Been long time not to see you Msr Lucy. My English got bad 😅. Now I'm coming back
I did five correctly and I enjoyed it very much, thanks Lucy.
At the end Following you was a good prospect of learning new grammar rules 👍👍❤
Thank you, I have found that I learn more with you and I appreciate it.
Takes me back to school😊😊5out of 5 so far oh oh, the Oxford comma was something I didn't know .So a 10 on 10. Thank you!! Really enjoy your channel.
I got all 10 correct! Very proud of myself! I’m a word person. 😊
Hi Lucy, very interesting and informative. I must comment on question three though....you have used a comma before a conjuction. I was always taught as a kid that this is a big 'no no'.
I would also say that qu. 4 really depends on context and the collective noun in question
Qu. 6 - always 'an' :)
Qu. 7 - again, at school I was always taught not to end a sentence with a short word like 'to' - I realise that English is always evolving but, just because everyone would probably say the second sentence, doesn't make it correct - yet - in my mind :)
Qu. 8 - ??
Qu. 10 - Oxford comma....No!! :):)
Really enjoyed your presentation.
Thanks
10 out of ten. I am grammatically lucky in this case.
English is not my first language, as I grew up in working-class, rural Minnesota.
Standard American English is my second language, which took me over twenty years of schooling to acquire. 😎
I got all 10. But question 8 is rather odd, because several words can be used to complete the sentence including: will, always, often....Of course, if always or often is used, then the word "play" would be replaced with "plays".
"Of course, if always or often is used, then the word "play" would be replaced with "plays"."
Exactly, which is why I'm wondering why you find it odd. "Will" is the only viable option to express a habit, at least in the Present. If it was the past, 'would' could also be used.
8 out of 10😊 would as a past habit is familiar but ...will😮.. now it s obvious as a present habit
Thanks a million for reminding❤❤
That was fun. 10 here, so I guess all that money on an English degree and CELTA qualification paid off 😅 It’s great to see someone who I presume has a similar background doing these videos, keep it up!
I have a Masters degree in English literature and language. I found this test very odd indeed.
First of all Lucy you look amazing greetings from Karachi, Pakistan.
I am your big fan since last few years have been seen your tutorials.
Lots of love for you and your husband😊
I looking From India, your teaching technique is wonderful 👍 i will try showing all the videos
I am a Graphic Designer
I had one mistake on question nine, by not being able to come up with the word “will”. I wasn’t quick enough.
Lucy, love the sentences with two correct answers. Living in Canada, I went with the American response. ❤😊
Great test. The context is not complex, but the grammar is not easy. For example, I understand the lie but need help to use it precisely.
The 'habit' one completely got me...I thought of always, regularly, periodically, except the answer, 'will' !...I would instead rephrase the question as 'word that will predict the habit'
10!!!! I teach middle school English, though, so that might put me at a bit of an advantage 🤷 Great video!
I really like your video. Because I want to my English better than So, i listen everydaya. thank you for sharing❤️️❤️️
I got 7 corrections. Thank you for preparing such a good collection of questions.
Good one, without a doubt. Got 8 answers correct. Thank you!
Enjoy the way you teach. Thank you.
Thank you Lucy 💕💕
5 out of ten..i'm watching this video from Bangladesh... English is my second language.. But i have complete my gratulation &post graduation from English literature... So i always try to speak english fluently 🥰🥰🥰
Well...9/10. I didn't know what do do with no. 8. 'Will', at least for me, belonged exclusively to 'future'.
Thank you for a very interesting and educational lesson.
But if the neighbour's annoying habit belonged in the past, it would have been "would".
I'm from Pakistan. I love to hear lucy and enjoying you pronunciation a lot 😄
9/10. English is my second language. Sadly, I don’t speak my first language, German, anymore.
I hope that was grammatically correct. Lol 😅 I do have a question regarding my second sentence. I used commas for the appositive, “German”. I often use the double hyphen for the same purpose, especially when adding a more complex clarification that I don’t want to make into its own sentence. How or when should one use one versus the other? See what I did there? 🤣
Great instructional video. Very pleased it reached my feed. Thank you 👍
I got 8 out of 10.
Question number 8 I answered wizh "regularily"...which is cheeky, but fulfills your description :)
This video, shows how grammar is changing, as you mentioned. I have always used singular, when a group is being described. eg. Crowd. It sounds wrong using the plural. A bit like hearing people using premise/premice as the singular of premises (a building, dwelling)
I'm from India. I enjoy watching and listening to lucy.
