Grammar quiz — 20 true or false questions with answers.

Who it's for: Lower secondary English classes, ages 13–15, and adults learning English.

True/false is the fastest format to write and to answer, which makes it a good two-minute check at the start of a lesson. It is also easy to guess, so treat a score as a signal about which rules need revisiting rather than as a grade.

Every false statement here has a short correction a student should be able to give: went, not goed; quickly is an adverb; and, but and or are conjunctions; mice, not mouses; she doesn't, not she don't; who is for people and which for things. True/false questions in Quizoma can carry an optional box for participants to explain their answer — turn it on for the false ones if you want to see who knows the rule and who guessed.

What is in the file

One row per question: the question, then the options, then a final correct column holding the number of the right option. Where more than one option is right, the numbers are joined with a |. The first lines look like this:

question,option1,option2,correct
"The plural of ""child"" is ""children"".",True,False,1
"""Their"", ""there"" and ""they're"" all mean the same thing.",True,False,2

Open it in any spreadsheet to edit, and save it as CSV again before importing — an .xlsx file is not read. The same format is described on the templates page.
