BBC News - 10 questions on grammar

Claiming US exceptionalism will not be accepted! :biggrin1:

Thanks for posting, I got 9 out of 10... I slipped up on the dress of The Queen!:wink:

I got that one by default; I.e. knowing it wasn't the other two.

Should spellcheck have made that an upper case i? This could be grammar hell.

 

[Fuzzy_]

Fuzzy got 9 out of 10. The brother/sister one was confusing.

Those darned fallen subjunctives!

Thanks, Drifty.

 

[paigexox]

8/10


The Churchill question as well as the Queen's dress were mysteries to me.

 

[Mercurygirl]

9 of 10 ... missed the brother/sister one.

 

[Harold_Godwinson]

My son had his SATS grammar, spelling and punctuation tests today, lets just say I hope he did better than I did on the Beeb one!

 

[ladristo]

10/10, guessed on two of them

 

[Reg]

Boy I feel like the dummy here....7.

Don't! People who got 2's and 3's probably aren't too keen on replying :tongue:

8/10.

I got the gerund and Hilary wrong. :*(

 

[hrdsmooth1]

9 of 10 here. Hilary the sibling got me!

The difference between knowing and not knowing your grammar is knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

I started off thinking I'd do well at this because I tend to notice grocer's apostrophes and things like that, but I only got 5 and one of those was a lucky guess.





(or is it grocers' apostrophes?)

 

[arthurdent]

Here's one for you? Punctuate this, so that it makes sense:


Where Billy had had had Johnny had had had had had had had had the teacher's approval Johnny would have passed

 

[b.c.]

Silly me. I'm still trying to figure out why the thread is titled "FOUR Grammar Gurus".

 

[CUBE]

I did well...thank goodness!

 

[Sedoriku]

The four is very confusing; I orginallty thought it was a group of four people who would be helping with grammer. I don't see how anyone could claim American exceptionalism. The quiz works perfectly fine for both uses of English.
Also 9/10, Hilary stumped me...

 

[798686]

Silly me. I'm still trying to figure out why the thread is titled "FOUR Grammar Gurus".

Lol... it's ironic?

(Or did I miss the joke in your post?! :tongue: )
