Takeaways

• 😀 Beginner questions assess basic grammar knowledge like subject-verb agreement, tense usage, and prepositions.
• 🚗 Correct example: 'He has a new car.' This illustrates proper subject-verb agreement for third-person singular in present tense.
• 🏙️ 'Emily lives in New York' shows proper preposition use for cities. 'In' is used for places, 'on' for streets.
• 📚 The correct negative form for 'I don't like boring books' emphasizes the usage of 'don't' for I/we/they, and 'doesn't' for he/she/it.
• 🎶 'The man sings very loudly' is correct because adverbs (with 'ly') modify verbs in English.
• 📅 Use 'going to' followed by the base form for future actions, such as 'Are you going to call her tomorrow?'
• 🚇 Use the superlative form of adjectives like 'closest' when comparing items (e.g., 'Where is the closest subway station?').
• 🇫🇷 When expressing time in the past, '7 years ago' is correct for specifying when an action began (e.g., 'I started learning French 7 years ago').
• ⏳ Intermediate level introduces more complex grammar like present perfect tense (e.g., 'Have you finished your homework?').
• 🎁 Advanced questions cover idiomatic expressions, conditionals, and phrasal verbs (e.g., 'think outside the box', 'if Paul had left a bit sooner').
