English grammar questions in school exams come from a fixed set of topics: tenses, articles, prepositions, subject–verb agreement, pronouns, conjunctions, active and passive voice, direct and indirect speech, modals and degrees of comparison. The commonest mistake is agreement — “One of my friends is coming”, never “One of my friend is coming”.

  • now, look!, listen! → present continuous
  • already, just, ever, since, for → present perfect

  • tomorrow, next week → future

Voice and narration in one line

Passive: object + be + past participle + by + doer — The poem was written by Tagore.

Indirect speech: tense one step back, pronouns and time words change — She said, “I am busy today.” → She said that she was busy that day.

Questions & answers

Grammar Practice Quiz — your questions

Which grammar topics does this quiz cover?

Ten topics: tenses, articles, prepositions, subject–verb agreement, pronouns, conjunctions, active and passive voice, direct and indirect speech, modals, and degrees of comparison. There are 180 questions in all, tagged by class, so a Class 4 setting shows simpler sentences than a Class 10 setting of the same topic.

What are the rules of subject verb agreement?

The verb agrees with the subject, not with the words in between. A singular subject takes a singular verb: “One of my friends is coming” — the subject is one, not friends. Two subjects joined by and take a plural verb; joined by or or nor, the verb matches the nearer subject. Each, every, everyone and nobody are always singular.

How do I change a sentence into the passive voice?

Move the object to the front, use the right form of be with the past participle, then add “by” and the doer. “Tagore wrote the poem” becomes “The poem was written by Tagore”. The tense stays the same — present becomes is written, past becomes was written, future becomes will be written.

How do I spot the correct tense from the sentence?

Look for the time words. Every day, always and usually point to simple present. Now, look! and listen! point to present continuous. Already, just, ever, since and for point to present perfect. Yesterday, last year and ago point to simple past, while tomorrow and next week point to the future.

When do I use a, an and the?

Use a before a consonant sound and an before a vowel sound — a university and a one-rupee coin take a because they begin with the sounds “yoo” and “wun”, while an hour takes an because the h is silent. Use the for something already known, unique, or made specific by the words that follow.

What are the most common grammar mistakes Indian students make?

Five appear again and again: “good in maths” instead of good at maths; “discuss about the plan” instead of discuss the plan; “one of my friend” instead of one of my friends; “I am having a bicycle” instead of I have a bicycle; and “return back the book” instead of return the book.
