Elementary Test 13 Part 1 Grammar worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each question one by one. I’ll explain what to look for and why the correct answer is right — in simple words, like we’re solving it together.

---

Question 1:
> “____ did the first man walk on the moon?”
> “In 1969.”

We’re asking about time — because the answer is a year: “In 1969.”
So we need the question word that asks about time → When

✔ Correct answer: A) When

---

Question 2:
> “____ did she marry?”
> “She married to John.”

The answer is a person: “John” → so we ask Who

✔ Correct answer: B) Who

*(Note: Actually, we say “She married John,” not “to John” — but that’s grammar for another day! For now, focus on the question word.)*

---

Question 3:
> A ____ dog.

This is just describing a dog — no comparison, no superlative needed. Just a normal adjective.

“big” is the basic form → fits perfectly.

“bigger than” needs something to compare with (like “bigger than a cat”)
“biggest” or “the biggest” are for comparing more than two things — not needed here.

✔ Correct answer: B) big

---

Question 4:
> A ____ driver.

We need an adjective to describe the noun “driver”.

“careful” = adjective → describes someone who drives safely
“care” = verb/noun → doesn’t fit
“carefully” = adverb → describes how you do something, not what kind of person you are
“the careful” → wrong structure — we don’t use “the” before adjectives unless it’s part of a phrase like “the careful ones”

✔ Correct answer: B) careful

---

Question 5:
> She ran ____.

“Ran” is a verb → we need an adverb to describe *how* she ran.

“quickly” = adverb → correct
“quick” = adjective → would describe a thing, not an action
“quicker” = comparative adjective/adverb → needs comparison (“quicker than him”)
“the quickly” → never used — “the” + adverb is not correct

✔ Correct answer: C) quickly

---

Question 6:
> He drives too ____.

Again, “drives” is a verb → need an adverb.

“fast” can be both adjective AND adverb → “He drives fast” is correct
“fastly” → NOT a real word! Don’t use it.
“faster” = comparative → needs comparison
“fastest” = superlative → also needs context

Also, “too fast” is a common phrase → means he drives at a dangerous speed.

✔ Correct answer: B) fast

---

Question 7:
> What is the story ____?

We’re asking what the story is about — meaning its topic or subject.

“about” is the right preposition here.

“of” → usually shows possession or origin (“story of my life”)
“on” → sometimes used, but less natural here
“at” → doesn’t make sense

✔ Correct answer: D) about

---

Question 8:
> What happened ____ the end of the story?

Fixed expression: “at the end” → always use “at” with “end” when talking about stories, movies, etc.

“in the end” = finally / eventually (different meaning)
“on the end” → not correct
“from the end” → doesn’t fit

✔ Correct answer: C) at

---

Question 9:
> The train leaves ____ platform 9.

Trains leave from a platform → this is the standard preposition.

“at platform 9” could work if you’re standing there, but “leaves from” is better for departure point.

“of”, “for” → don’t fit

✔ Correct answer: C) from

---

Question 10:
> “____ did you buy your new jacket?”
> “At supermarket.”

Answer tells us a place → so we ask Where

“What” → thing
“When” → time
“How” → method

✔ Correct answer: B) Where
