Q & A
What is the correct form of the verb to use with 'he,' 'she,' and 'it' in present simple tense?
-In the present simple tense, 'has' is used for 'he,' 'she,' and 'it,' while 'have' is used for 'I,' 'you,' 'we,' and 'they.'
Why do we use the article 'a' before 'house' in the sentence 'Sara has a very big house'?
-We use the article 'a' before singular, countable nouns like 'house.' It indicates that we are referring to one house.
What is the negative form of the present simple tense for 'I,' 'you,' 'we,' and 'they'?
-In the negative form of the present simple tense, we use 'don't' for 'I,' 'you,' 'we,' and 'they' (e.g., 'I don't like cheese').
What preposition is used when talking about means of transport such as 'taxi,' 'bus,' or 'train'?
-We use the preposition 'by' when referring to means of transport (e.g., 'by taxi,' 'by bus').
In present simple tense, what happens to the verb when the subject is 'he,' 'she,' or 'it'?
-The verb takes an 's' when the subject is 'he,' 'she,' or 'it' (e.g., 'she lives in France').
Why is 'he can’t swim' the correct sentence rather than 'he doesn’t can swim'?
-The verb 'can' is a modal verb, so we don't need an auxiliary verb like 'doesn’t.' The correct form is 'he can’t swim.'
How do we form a future plan question using 'be going to'?
-We form future plan questions using 'be going to' with the correct form of 'be' (e.g., 'Are you going to London next week?').
How do we form a past simple question?
-We form past simple questions using 'did' followed by the base form of the verb (e.g., 'Did you work yesterday?').
How is a question structured in English using 'how' and an auxiliary verb?
-A question in English is structured with a question word, an auxiliary verb, a subject, and the main verb (e.g., 'How does she make an apple cake?').
When do we use 'some' with uncountable nouns?
-We use 'some' with uncountable nouns like 'water' when referring to an indefinite quantity (e.g., 'There is some water in the glass').

Transcripts
What is your English level? Beginner,
Intermediate or Advanced? Let’s find out! Today I am going to test your English level.
Hello, guys! My name is Kate and in this lesson we are going to have an English
level test to understand your level of English. I will give you questions
divided in three different levels – beginner, intermediate and advanced.
I will show you the question, then you will have five seconds to come up with the answer.
If you need more time you can pause the video, think about your answer and play it again.
And please don’t forget to count the number of correct answers you have.
Also I’m gonna explain the grammar and vocabulary in every question so that you know
why your answer was wrong (if it was.) Now let's start the test.
The first five questions are for the beginner level the A level
Which sentence is correct? Sara have a very big house.
Sara has a very big house. Sara has very big house.
Sara has a very big house.
When we use the verb “have” in present simple tense we should use has for he, she, it,
and have with they, you and we. The correct answer is B. Sara has a very big house.But
why do we say – a big house ? For singular nouns we use an article A, an or the. In this
case. We have a noun “house” so we must say a house, not just ‘house” that’s why B is correct
Question two. Which sentence is correct? I doesn't like cheese.
I not like cheese. I don't like cheese
The correct answer is I don't like cheese but why? Again, this is present simple tense,
but it’s a negative form. To make a simple present sentence negative we use don't for I,
you, we and they and doesn't for he, she, it. So I don't, you don't, he doesn't, she doesn't,
it doesn't, you don't, they don't, and we don't. Question three. Which sentence is correct?
She goes to the office in taxinShe goes to the office by taxi She goes to the office by a taxi
She goes to the office by taxi. When we are talking about the means
of transport – a taxi, a bus, a car, a train, we use by - by bus, by train, by taxi. Another
important thing is we never use the article “the” before means of transport, so please
remember - we never say I go by the taxi unless we know which taxi or which car we are talking about.
The next question. Which one is correct? She live in France,
She lives in France or She is live in France
She lives in France but why? because this is present simple tense. In present simple we
have a subject plus a verb when the subject is the third person singular which is he
she or it the verb takes an S so I live, you live, he lives, she lives, it lives
Let's move on to the next question. Which one is correct?
He not can swim. He doesn’t can swim. He can’t swim
The correct answer is he can’t swim. But why? The verb can is a modal verb. We don’t
need to use an auxiliary verb here, and we never use NOT before the verb.
The next question. Which sentence is correct? Are you going to London next week?
Do you going to London next week? Are you going in London next week?
Are you going to London next week? In this case we are talking about
next week and we are asking about future plans. When we are talking
about future plans in English we use “be going to” and be stands for am, is, are.
Are you going to London next week? But why we say to London instead of in London? Because to is the
preposition of direction. When we are moving from one place to another we always use “to”.
The next question. Which one is correct? Do you work yesterday?
Are you worked yesterday? Did you work yesterday?
The right answer is C. Did you work yesterday? Why? There is a marker word – yesterday,
which is used in Past simple, so in Past simple questions we use did + verb.
The next question. Which sentence is correct?
How she makes an apple cake? Does she make an apple cake how? How does she make an apple cake?
The answer is how does she make an apple cake? The question form in English is
always like this. We have a question word, an auxiliary verb, a subject and a main verb.
In this case the question word is how, the auxiliary verb is does,
the subject is she, and the verb is make so how does she make is the correct word order.
Let’s move on to the next one. Which sentence is correct?
I enjoy to watch Netflix. I enjoy watching Netflix. I enjoy watch Netflix.
The correct answer is I enjoy watching Netflix. After verbs enjoy,
mind and suggest we always use verb + ing form.
Now the last question of the beginner level. Which sentence is correct?
There is a water in the glass. There is many water in the glass. There is some water in the glass.
There is some water in the glass. It’s correct because water is an uncountable noun. We don’t
need to use an article, we can’t say "a water". When we are talking about the uncountable nouns
like milk, oil, water, coffee, we say “some” or “any” in questions and negative sentences.
Great job, guys! Now we have finished questions of the beginner level.
How many correct answers do you have? If you have eight or more correct answers your level
is not beginner, you should go on answering the questions of the test to see what your level is.
But if you have less than eight correct answers your level is beginner. And that’s
not bad. You can practice more and more and improve your English level.
Now we're going to get to the intermediate level B. Let's start. Which sentence is correct?
I haven’t seen Mary last night. I didn’t see Mary last night. I don’t saw Mary last night.
There are two tenses that students often confuse, past simple or present perfect.
They both are used to talk about something that happened in the past, however if we know exactly
when something happened we use past simple, so in this case we know exactly when this
happened right? last night. So the correct answer is - I didn’t see Mary last night.
The next question. Which one is correct? Did you bought the tickets? Have you bought the tickets?
You have bought the tickets?
This is a question where we use the present perfect because we don’t know
the exact time when the person bought the tickets. So we use the present perfect.
The next question. Which sentence is correct?
She’s never been to Australia. She's never gone to Australia. She never went to Australia.
She’s never been to Australia. But what's the difference between been
and gone? Been means that you were in some place in the past and then you came back,
you have the memories and you have the experience. Gone means you went there and you are still there.
So if I say she has gone to Australia, that means she went there and she still hasn't come back.
In this case because we are talking about never so she has never been there IS right.
The next question. He made many mistakes in his test.
He did many mistakes in his test. He has done many mistakes in his test.
He made many mistakes in his test. Why?
To make mistakes is a collocation. We always say – to make mistakes, to do mistakes is not correct.
The next one. Which one is correct? A)Your progress in English depends on
different factors. B) depends of different factors. C) depends by different factors.
The answer is A. Your progress in English depends
ON different factors. After the verb depend we always use ON.
The next question. If I see Mary tomorrow, I will tell her about it.
If I will see Mary tomorrow, I tell her about it. If I saw Mary tomorrow, I would told her about it.
This is a conditional sentence. Here we have the first conditional. The first Clause is
present and the second clause is future with the verb will. If I see Mary tomorrow,
I will tell her about it. That’s correct.
The next question. Which one is correct? If I was you, I would learn English better.
If I were you, I learned English better. If I were you, I would learn English better.
Again this is a conditional sentence. We use the second conditional when we are
talking about an imaginary situation, if I were you. This is an unreal situation. In
second conditional sentences the first clause is the past simple and the second clause is
would + verb infinitive. If I were you, I would learn English better. This is the correct answer.
The next question. A)They called out the trip because Mike was sick. B)They
called off the trip or C) They called for the trip
So these are sentences with phrasal verbs. To call off means to cancel,
so They called off the trip, the answer B is right.
The next question. A) When he was a child he used to play chess. B)
he got used to playing chess and C) he was used to playing chess
We use the structure “used to” when we want to
talk about something we did in the past, but we don't do that anymore.
I used to drink coffee. I don’t drink coffee any more. There is another structure “be used to”.
Am, is, are, was,were + used to which is used to talk about habits for example I am used to
jogging in the morning which means this is my habit. In this case we use the verb with
-ing I am used to jogging in the morning. Finally, the structure “get used to” also
means to make something a habit and again the structure is get used to + a verb + ing. When
he was a child he used to play chess. He did that in the past but he doesn’t do that anymore.
The next question. A) I was angry because I had waited for him all
day B) I was waiting for him all day C) I had been waiting for him all day
had been waiting for him all day! The first part of the sentence is the past simple. I was angry.
When we are talking about something that happened before another action in the past we
use Past Perfect continuous, if that action was continuous. Subject+had+been+verb+ing
This is the end of the intermediate section. Now let me know how many
correct answers do you have? If you have eight or more than eight correct answers,
then your level is more than intermediate! So that’s amazing!
Keep going with the rest of the video and find out your level of English!
Now it’s time to move on to the advanced section. In this part I'm going to give
you 10 challenging questions , so get ready Let's start with the first question. Fill in the
missing word. I ___ get in through the window. A) managed to B) could to or C) was able to
Manage to is a verb that means to do something successfully, to deal with something difficult.
The next question. Your
papers are on the floor. Why don't you ___? A) pick up them. B) pick them up. C) pick them.
The right answer is pick them up. Them is a pronoun and up is a particle.
When the direct object is a pronoun, it’s usually placed between the verb and the particle.
The next one. We were really ___ with the weather. A) disappoint. B) disappointed. C) disappointing.
The correct answer is disappointed. But
what is the difference between disappointed and disappointing?
Disappointing is an adjective which means something that disappoints,
something that makes you feel bad or unhappy. For example, the movie was disappointing.
And disappointed is a state of mind when you feel unhappy because your hopes about
something were not satisfied. I was disappointed to see my exam results.
The next one. Which answer is correct? Do you think we will finish our project in time?
I don’t suppose not. I suppose not. I don’t so suppose
I suppose not is the right answer. We can’t use
double negatives. We can’t say – I don’t suppose not.
The next question. Which sentence correctly reports the question? Where have you been?
A) He asked me where I have been B) He asked me where I was C) He asked me where I had been
Here we have the topic - reported speech. When we change from direct to indirect speech,
you need to change the grammar. We have a question in the Present Perfect Tense,
so we need to change it to the Past Perfect. He asked me where I had been.
The next question. Which sentence is correct? A. The painting sold for three thousand dollars
B. The painting was sold for three thousand dollars
C. The painting was being sold for three thousand dollars
The painting was sold for three thousand dollars is correct. The passive voice is
used when we want to emphasize the action and the subject is not important. was being sold is
a Passive continuous form but we don’t have any marker words here, so the answer is B.
The next question. He's had his car... A. when he passed his driving test B.
since he passed his driving test C. as he passed his driving test
He's had his car since he passed his driving test.
Since is an adverb of time. Here we have the situation where he had his
car from a particular time in the past until now, that’s why the answer is B.
The next one. The directions my friend gave us were ___ ,
so we were able to find his house easily. a) straightforward b) coordinated c) essential
Straightforward is the correct answer because in this case this means easy to understand or simple.
The next question. One of Mike's ___ is his writing skill. He writes
very clearly and professionally. a) drawbacks b) assets с) acquaintances
An asset means a useful or valuable quality or skill, so the correct answer is B. Assets
An the last question for the advanced level. I heard a ___ outside so I went to the window.
I saw four men in the street arguing. a) burial b) coincidence c) commotion
A commotion is a sudden, short period of noise, confusion,
or excited movement. So the correct answer is C.
Well done! I hope you've enjoyed this lesson. Don't forget to let me know your level and
how many correct answers you've had in the comments below ! Thank you for watching! Bye!
