Study Notes
English multiple choice questions (MCQs) can help test your knowledge of various aspects of the language, including grammar. Here are some example questions related to grammar that you might encounter in an English MCQ test:
Question 1: Which phrase is considered correct when using contractions? A. I've got it. B. I have got it. C. My favorite color is blue. D. Favorite colors include red, green, blue, and yellow.
Answer 1: A. I've got it. Explanation: When contracting two words together, such as 'have got', only one word should remain between the apostrophe and the letter 'o'. This contraction indicates a possessive form.
Question 2: In sentence structure, which part comes after the subject and before the predicate? A. Null Subject B. Direct Object C. Indirect Object D. Adverbial Phrase
Answer 2: D. Adverbial Phrase Explanation: In a typical sentence, there will always be a direct object following the verb; however, this isn't necessarily true for all sentences with indirect objects. An adverbial phrase may follow either the direct or the indirect object or both depending upon its meaning.
Question 3: What is the difference between active voice and passive voice in terms of tense? A. Active voice does not change according to tense while passive voice changes accordingly. B. Both voices change their forms based on tense. C. Only active voice changes according to tense while passive voice remains unchanged. D. Both voices change according to tense.
Answer 3: D. Both voices change according to tense. Explanation: Tense refers to how time is expressed within a narrative or description. It can indicate whether something happened before another event or what kind of mood was present during an action. Both active voice and passive voice can vary based on past, present, future tenses etc., although they do so differently.
These examples demonstrate just a small portion of the types of grammatical questions you could expect in an English MCQ exam. By practicing these kinds of exercises regularly, you can become more comfortable identifying and applying grammar rules correctly.
