She ____ to school every day.
went
goes
going
go
Subject-verb agreement in English requires adding -s for third-person singular subjects in simple present. 'Goes' matches 'She' and expresses a habitual action.
I saw ___ elephant at the zoo.
the
a
an
zero article
The word 'elephant' begins with a vowel sound, so the indefinite article 'an' is used. 'A' would be incorrect before a vowel sound.
He is interested ___ learning English.
to
in
at
on
The correct collocation is 'interested in' when expressing an interest in an activity. Other prepositions do not pair correctly with 'interested'.
Select the synonym of 'happy'.
angry
sad
tired
joyful
'Joyful' shares a positive emotional meaning with 'happy', whereas the other options express different or opposite feelings. Therefore, 'joyful' is the correct synonym.
What is John's job? "John works as a teacher."
Engineer
Doctor
Lawyer
Teacher
The sentence clearly states he works as a teacher, identifying his occupation. The phrase 'works as' specifies his profession.
Where did Maria sit? "Maria entered the coffee shop. She ordered a latte and a croissant. She sat by the window and read her book."
In the corner
By the window
Outside the shop
At the counter
The passage states she sat by the window and read her book. That specific detail directly answers the question.
By the time the show started, we ____ dinner.
had finished
have finished
were finishing
finished
The past perfect 'had finished' indicates an action completed before another past event. The show starting is the later event in the past.
Choose the correct article: 'I need to make ____ decision now.'
a
an
some
the
The noun 'decision' begins with a consonant sound, so the indefinite article 'a' is appropriate. 'The' would indicate a specific decision and 'an' is wrong before a consonant sound.
Why was Speaker A late? "Speaker A: I'm sorry I'm late. Speaker B: It's okay, traffic was bad. Speaker A: Thanks."
Flight delay
He forgot
Heavy traffic
He overslept
Speaker B explicitly said that traffic was bad, which implies heavy traffic caused the delay. No other reasons are mentioned.
This test is ____ than the last one.
easiest
more easy
easier
most easy
For one-syllable adjectives like 'easy', the comparative form adds '-er'. 'Easier' correctly compares two items.
What does 'break the ice' mean?
Get angry
Begin a conversation
Destroy ice
Break something cold
The idiom 'break the ice' means to relieve tension and start a conversation in a social setting. The literal meanings do not fit the context.
How does Anna feel? "After hearing the cancellation news, Anna sighed and crushed her paper."
Indifferent
Excited
Upset
Surprised
Sighing and crushing paper are physical actions that show frustration and disappointment. Therefore, Anna feels upset.
If I ____ enough money, I would travel the world.
having
have
had
had have
This is a second conditional sentence, which uses the past simple form 'had' in the 'if' clause for hypothetical situations. 'If I had enough money' is correct.
What does 'turn down' mean in the sentence 'She decided to turn down the job offer'?
Reject
Reduce volume
Improve
Rotate
'Turn down' as a phrasal verb here means to refuse or reject something, such as an offer. Other meanings do not fit the context of an offer.
What is the speaker implying? "I appreciate your help, but I think I'll handle this myself."
They want more help
They refuse assistance
They are grateful
They are upset
Although the speaker expresses gratitude ('I appreciate your help'), they state they will manage on their own, which is a polite refusal of assistance.
What is James most likely to do next? "James has been studying for months. Despite his efforts, he failed the test. He vowed to improve his study habits and try again next semester."
Stop studying entirely
Ignore the failure
Change his study approach
Switch majors
He vowed to improve his study habits and retry, indicating he will change his study approach. The other choices contradict his expressed intention.
I recommend that she ____ on time for every meeting.
arriving
arrive
to arrive
arrives
In the subjunctive mood after verbs like 'recommend', the base form 'arrive' is used. Forms like 'arrives' or 'to arrive' are not correct in this structure.
He felt ____ after winning the scholarship.
Overjoyed
Nervous
Furious
Content
The adjective 'overjoyed' denotes extreme happiness, which matches the context of winning a scholarship. The other options express different emotions or lower intensity.
Identify the error: 'Neither the manager nor the employees was available to speak about the change.'
Misplaced modifier
Wrong tense
Subject-verb agreement
Wrong pronoun
With 'neither...nor', the verb should agree with the closer subject 'employees' (plural), so it should be 'were'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue.
What is the speaker's tone? "Well, that's just great," he said after hearing his car had a flat tire.
Joyful
Sarcastic
Sincere
Indifferent
Using a positive phrase like 'that's just great' in response to bad news indicates sarcasm. The speaker is expressing frustration, not genuine enthusiasm.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Identify your strengths and weaknesses in English grammar and vocabulary.
  2. Analyse comprehension skills through context-based reading scenarios.

  5. Master vocabulary usage in everyday conversational contexts.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master your articles - Understanding when to use "a," "an," or "the" can magically clear up your sentences and guide your reader smoothly through your ideas. Remember: "an" pairs with vowel sounds (like "an apple") and "a" tags along with consonant sounds (like "a banana"). With this power in your toolkit, your writing precision will skyrocket. Gallaudet Grammar & Vocabulary Guide
  2. Nail subject-verb agreement - Matching your subject and verb in number keeps your sentences rock-solid and easy to follow. Singular subjects take singular verbs ("She runs"), while plural subjects take plural verbs ("They run"). Practice consistently and you'll never trip up on this again. Gallaudet Grammar & Vocabulary Guide
  3. Grow your word bank - Learning new words daily is like collecting shiny power-ups for your language game. Use each word in a sentence or flashcard to cement it in your memory and watch your comprehension and expression soar. Turn vocabulary practice into a fun challenge and surprise yourself with rapid progress! Gallaudet Grammar & Vocabulary Guide
  4. Tune into English audio - Podcasts, songs, and audiobooks are your personal English playground for sharpening listening skills. Focus on the main ideas, jot down interesting phrases, and try summarizing what you heard to lock in comprehension. This audio adventure will boost your confidence in real conversations. Lone Star College ESOL Guide
  5. Boost your reading game - Dive into diverse texts - articles, stories, blogs - and hunt for main points to build your analytical muscles. Summarizing each piece helps you spot writing styles and grasp nuances faster than you'd imagine. The more you read, the more context clues you'll master! Lone Star College ESOL Guide
  6. Conquer irregular verbs - Irregular verbs love to trip up writers ("went," not "goed"), so it's time to tame them. Create a fun list of common irregulars and quiz yourself regularly, turning study into a mini-game. Soon, saying "swam" instead of "swimmed" will be second nature. Gallaudet Grammar & Vocabulary Guide
  7. Know your nouns: countable vs. uncountable - Using "many" with countable items ("many books") and "much" with uncountable stuff ("much information") makes your sentences shine. Practice with everyday examples - like grocery lists or news articles - to lock in the difference. This small tweak will refine your language construction instantly. Gallaudet Grammar & Vocabulary Guide
  8. Ask questions and craft negatives like a pro - Forming questions ("Do you like ice cream?") and negatives ("I do not like ice cream.") in various tenses is key to clear communication. Flip statements into questions or negatives in your journal to build fluency. With regular drills, these structures will feel as natural as breathing. Gallaudet Grammar & Vocabulary Guide
  9. Get phrasal with verbs - Phrasal verbs like "give up" (to quit) or "look after" (to take care of) are everyday English essentials. Learn a few each week and sprinkle them into conversation for that native-like flair. Before you know it, you'll sound more natural and confident. Gallaudet Grammar & Vocabulary Guide
  10. Write with clarity and confidence - Journaling or crafting short essays is your ticket to organized, coherent writing. Focus on clear ideas, logical flow, and don't fear making mistakes - they're your best teachers. Each draft brings you one step closer to polished, compelling prose.
