Got 11 and 13 wrong.
same
i got 5- again i don't know what much of it means
Not bad for an engineer
I learnt a lot of new words and meanings today.
Learn all these words in English
Like question five: "5. Which of the following sentences uses a subordinate clause at the beginning?"
I've heard of a subordinate clause, but no idea what it means. Yet because it said 'beginning', there was only one that had a few words then a comma, to me that had to be the clause.
Or questions eleven: "Which sentence is written in the active voice?"
I didn't know what an active voice meant, but after reading the three answers, two of them spoke about the fires damage, while only one walking talking about the fire directly, which lead to me believe that was the 'voice'.
And question thirteen: "Identify the prepositional phrase in the following sentence:"
I had no idea what prepositional phrase meant, but the 'pre' part of the word clearly means before and we all know what a phrase is. Again using the answers given, the only one that fit's the bill of what you could assume would be prepositional phrase, would be "too the foot of the stairs" as by itself it makes no sense. Unlike the other options, which sort of do.
:yes: Me too. Although, studied, I don't really any more. English grammar wasn't much taught at my schools.
Exactly the same here. I managed to get 10.
Agreed!
Oddly enough I'm clever enough to have tried that.
