      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 😅

      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.

    • @PhoenixRising-nm1he

      "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.

  • @MattrickBT
    @MattrickBT 21 день тому

    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.

    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. 😎

  • @theowl3756
    @theowl3756 2 місяці тому +2

    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".

    • @johnkalap9314
      @johnkalap9314 Місяць тому +2

      "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.

  • @oivamis4742

    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'

    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)
