Re: How good is your grammar?

11 for me but I must admit to some answers being just guesses.

Re: How good is your grammar?

I have learnt something too..

I would never have said...

The boy whom she gave the toy was called Matt

I'd have wanted to stick a" to" in before the whom

Well I never

Yes, I'm trying to think of a sentence in which I would use 'whom' without preceding it with words such as 'to', 'of', 'with', etc.

Re: How good is your grammar?

I'm not entirely convinced that I was wrong FOUR times. This chap convinces me that the "quiz" itself may be faulty:

Another Day, Another Worthless Grammar Quiz

I’m Jonathon Owen, a linguist, editor, writer, and book designer with a master’s degree in linguistics from Brigham Young University.
http://www.arrantpedantry.com/tag/quiz/

The writer goes through the questions and answers, with explanations.

Re: How good is your grammar?

Ditto Omah!

Rhian, you were of course absolutely correct the first time.
I looked up the answers because no matter what I did I only ever managed 13, and yet I was certain I hadn't made a mistake!

I'm afraid we've all been taken for complete suckers!

Unbelievable!!
