What is your English level?

Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced?

Let’s find out!

Today I am going to test your English level

Hello, guys!

I’m 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.

Now let's start the test.

The first ten questions are for the beginner level.

1.

Which sentence is correct?

A) How many butters do I need for this recipe? B)

How much butter do I need for this recipe?

C) How much butters do I need for this recipe?

The correct sentence is option B: "How much butter do I need for this recipe?"

Why?

Butter is an uncountable noun.

We cannot say ‘butters”.

That’s not correct.

And we cannot say – many butters.

We use MANY with countable nouns like apples, oranges, books, tables and so on.

In other words, we use many when we can count things like 1 apple, 2 apples, 3 apples, many

apples.

We use much with uncountable nouns like sugar, milk, snow, butter, water, and other products.

I’m going to explain this rule later in this video so keep watching it

The next question 2.

Which sentence is correct?

A) She enjoys spending the day in the mountains. B)

She enjoys spending the day in the mountain.

C) She enjoys spending the day on the mountains.

The correct sentence is A: She enjoys spending the day in the mountains.

In the mountains means a general area.

We are not talking about one specific mountain; we are talking about the area.

When we are talking about a specific mountain, we say – On the mountain.

For example – there’s a house on the mountain.

In the mountain is not correct because this means inside the mountain.

Let’s move on to the next question 3.

Which sentence is correct?

A) She gave her book to him. B)

Him gave her book to she.

C) She gave his book to he.

The correct sentence is option A: "She gave her book to him."

In this sentence, "she" is the subject pronoun, "her" is the possessive pronoun, and "him"

is the object pronoun.

Let’s move on to the next question 4.

Which sentence is correct?

A) There is a lot of furniture in the room. B)

There are a lot of furniture in the room.

C) There is lot of furnitures in the room.

The correct sentence is option A: "There is a lot of furniture in the room."

Why?

The verb "to be" in this sentence is used in the singular form because "furniture" is

an uncountable noun.

We cannot say there are because furniture is singular.

And it’ s not used in the plural.

We cannot say furnitures because that’s not correct.

There’re some groups of uncountable nouns Food and Drinks: Bread Butter Cheese Milk

Coffee Tea Salt Materials and Substances: Wood Steel Gold

Silver Plastic Air Gas Oil Concepts and Ideas: Knowledge Information

Wisdom Love Happiness Patience Freedom Justice

Nature and Weather: Rain Snow Sunshine Thunder Lightning Wind

Abstract Nouns: Time Space Truth Beauty Peace Respect

Health and Well-being: Health Happiness Sleep Stress

Various: Money Advice Luggage Equipment Furniture Baggage

Let’s move on to the next question 5.

Which sentence is correct?

A) They go to bed usually at 9-30. B)

They usually go to bed at 9-30 C) They go usually at 9-30 to bed.

The correct sentence is option B: They usually go to bed at 9-30

In English, the standard word order for a sentence is

A SUBJECT + A VERB + AN OBJECT For example - She bought flowers.

Here we have a sentence- They usually go to bed at 9-30

We know that the subject comes first – They Then we have a verb GO

BUT!

The word "usually" is an adverb of frequency, and it generally stands before the main verb

in a sentence.

It is used to indicate a regular action.

So we put it between the subject and the verb.

Then we have A PLACE – to bed And finally, we have time – 9-30.

In English, time expressions are generally placed at the end of the sentence.

So, "at 9-30" is correctly placed at the end of the sentence.

Let’s move on to the next question 6.

Which sentence is correct?

A) Yesterday I walked to the park. B)

Yesterday I walk to the park.

C) Yesterday I had been walk to the park.

The correct sentence is: A) Yesterday I walked to the park.

In this sentence, "walked" is the past simple form of the verb "to walk."

For regular verbs, the Past Simple is formed by adding "-ed" to the verb infinitive.

Here we have a marker - the word yesterday.

When we have such markers as - yesterday, a week (month, year) ago, last (month, year,

weekend, night), the day before yesterday, two years ago, then we use PAST Simple.

Let’s move on to the next question 7.

Find the correct answer Have you decided what you want to order?

- Yeah, A) I’m going to have a salad

B)

I’m having a salad C) I’ll have a salad

The correct option is C - I’ll have a salad I’ll is a contracted form of “I will”.

But when do we use will and when do we use going to?

When we talk about the future plans we use Present Continuous or going to.

When we’re talking about today, tomorrow, this week or next week, we use Present Continuous.

I’m working today.

I’m working tomorrow.

I’m working this week.

Or I’m going to work today.

I’m going to work tomorrow.

I’m going to work next week.

We use will when we make a fast decision.

When we decide in the moment, we use WILL.

I decided right in the moment what I want to eat.

So I’ll have a salad is the correct option here.

Let’s move on to the next question 8.

Which sentence is correct?

A) She started her job last year, in April. B)

She started her job last year, at April C) She started her job last year, by April

The correct option is A We use the preposition IN with months- in

April, in May, in June.

Let’s move on to the next question 9.

Which sentence is correct?

A) He is the tallest man I’ve ever seen. B)

He is taller man than I’ve ever seen.

C) He is the most taller man I’ve ever seen.

The correct sentence is: A) He is the tallest man I’ve ever seen.

We have an adjective – tall.

There’s a comparative form – taller and the superlative form –the tallest.

We use than when we want to compare one thing with another: She is two years older than

me.

Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit

of a quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest).

In this sentence, "the tallest" is the correct option.

We cannot say most taller man, that’s not grammatically correct

Let’s move on to the next question 10.

Which sentence is correct?

A) Can you explain me this rule? B)

Can you explain to me this rule? C) Can you explain this rule to me?

The correct option is C.

We use the verb explain to mean ‘make something clear or easy to understand, giving information

about it’.

We cannot say explain me.

We have to say - explain to me We can use explain with a direct object or

with a direct object and a prepositional phrase with to:

Could you explain these numbers, please?

Could you explain these numbers to me, please?

Great job, guys!

Now we have finished all the 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.

Intermediate 1.

Which sentence is correct?

A) I have read that book three times. B)

I read that book three times. C) I have readed that book three times.

The correct sentence is: A) I have read that book three times.

In this sentence, "have read" is the present perfect form of the verb "to read," indicating

an action completed in the past with a connection to the present.

Let’s move on to the next question 2.

Which sentence is correct?

A) Watching movies is one of her favorite activities.

B)

Watch movies is one of her favorite activities.

C) She likes watch movies.

The correct sentence is: A) Watching movies is one of her favorite activities.

Option A uses the gerund "watching" as a noun to describe one of her favorite activities.

A gerund is a verb in its present participle form that acts as a noun in a sentence.

Gerunds are formed from verbs by adding ING: be – being; go – going; play – playing;

talk – talking; write – writing.

For example, Her hobby is writing short stories.

Let’s move on to the next question 3.

Which sentence is correct?

A) The teacher encouraged the students to continue practicing their writing skills by

writing essays every week. B)

The teacher encouraged the students to continue practice their writing skills by writing essays

every week.

C) The teacher encouraged the students continue practicing their writing skills by writing

essays every week.

The correct sentence is: A) The teacher encouraged the students to continue practicing their

writing skills by writing essays every week.

To encourage means to help someone feel confident and able to do something, or to give advice

to someone to do something: For example - Our parents always encouraged

us to ask questions.

We need to put infinitive after the verb – encourage.

But why do we use the word “practicing” instead of “practice?”

We cannot say “continue practice”.

That’s incorrect.

Here we have the verb to continue.

We can say continue to practice OR continue practicing.

“Continue to do” means “start doing something again that was previously interrupted”,

whereas “continue doing” means “to carry on the same thing you have already been doing”.

In this sentence, "practicing" is the gerund form of the verb "to practice," indicating

an ongoing action.

Option A uses the correct form of the gerund and grammatically correct.

Let’s move on to the next question 4.

Which sentence is correct?

A) Who’s bag is this?

It is Anna’s bag. B)

Whose bag is this?

It is Anna’s bag.

C) Which bag is this?

It is Anna’s bag.

The correct answer is B So what’s the difference between whose and

who’s?

They sound the same but they have a different meaning.

The word Who’s is a contraction – who is or who has

For example, Who’s coming to the party?

In this case, the apostrophe doesn’t show possession.

It’s a contraction.

Whose is a pronoun and it shows possession.

Whose bag is this?

It’s mine.

Or it’s hers..

The question “Which bag is this? “ is grammatically correct.

But it doesn’t show possession so in this context it’s not correct.

Imagine you are in a room with three bags, and someone is holding one of them.

You are curious to know which bag they have, so you ask, "Which bag is this?"

The person holding the bag can respond "This is the red bag" or "This is the one with the

zipper."

Let’s move on to the next question 5.

Which sentence is correct?

A) If I wouldn't have missed my flight, I would be on vacation now.

B)

If I didn't miss my flight, I would be on vacation now.

C) If I don't miss my flight, I will be on vacation now.

The correct sentence is: B)

If I didn't miss my flight, I would be on vacation now.

Option B uses the correct past tense in the conditional clause and matches the unreal

past situation in the main clause.

The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would' and the infinitive:

if + past simple, ...would + infinitive I have a full video on Conditional sentences,

here’s the link so you can watch it after this lesson.

Let’s move on to the next question 6.

Which sentence is correct?

A) The employees should have finished the report by tomorrow.

B)

The employees must be finished the report by tomorrow.

C) The employees have to be finished the report by tomorrow.

The correct sentence is: A) The employees should have finished the report by tomorrow.

This means that it is recommended or expected that the employees have already completed

the report.

We use the construction Should have done to say that something is expected to be done.

Let’s move on to the next question 7.

Which sentence is correct?

A) We have a 30-minutes meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

B)

We have a 30-minute meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

C) We have 30-minutes meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

The correct sentence is: B)

We have a 30-minute meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

Instead of saying "30 minutes meeting", we say "a 30-minute meeting".

This is because we use a form that combines the number and the unit of time, such as "30

minutes", with a noun, like "meeting".

Compound adjectives are two or more words used together to form a single adjective before

a noun.

The combined form is called a compound noun, and it always takes the singular form.

For example: a two-door car, not a two-doors car.

A two-hour class A seven-day trip

A 26-mile run A ten-page report

A three-week journey Let’s move on to the next question

8.

Which sentence is correct?

A) Learning a foreign language takes a long time

B)

Learning a foreign language takes long time C) Learning a foreign language take a lot

of time The correct sentence is: A) Learning a foreign

language takes a long time The word time has both countable and uncountable

uses.

When we talk about the amount of time required to complete something (number of hours/days

etc.), time is usually uncountable.

How much time do we need to paint the walls?

(NOT How many time do we need…?)

Hurry up – we haven’t got enough time.

The project was a complete waste of time.

We don’t need an article here.

In expressions like a long time or a short time, the word time is used as a countable

noun.

It took a long time to proofread the work.

Learning a foreign language takes a long time.

Let’s move on to the next question 9.

Which sentence is correct?

A) I don’t like milk, cheese and butter. B)

I don’t like milk, cheese including butter.

C) I don’t like milk, cheese or butter.

The correct sentence is: C) I don’t like milk, cheese or butter.

Conjunctions like "or" are used to connect words, phrases, or clauses with similar grammatical

functions to express alternatives or choices.

Let’s have a look at the sentence.

I like milk, cheese and butter.

Here we use AND.

The sentence is positive.

When we say I don’t like milk, cheese or butter.

It’s a negative sentence, we have to use OR.

In this context, OR is a negative “AND”.

For example - I don’t speak Korean or Chinese

I never drink beer or wine I no longer drink tea or coffee

We use or instead of and because the sentence is negative.

Let’s move on to the next question 10.

Which sentence is correct?

A) Where is the man left his smartphone? B)

Where does the man left his smartphone?

C) Where has the man left his smartphone?

The correct option is C) Where has the man left his smartphone?

Here we have the Present Perfect Tense.

We know that Present Perfect is formed with have or has + a verb infinitive + Past Participle.

The verb "has left" is in the Present Perfect tense.

The Present Perfect tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "has" (for the third person

singular) or "have" (for other subjects) along with the past participle of the main verb.

In the sentence "Where has the man left his smartphone?", the Present Perfect tense is

used because the speaker is describing an action that happened in the past (the man

left his smartphone) with a connection to the present (the smartphone is still missing

at the time of speaking).

Is left or does left are NOT correct 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.

This part is gonna be tricky, so get ready.Let's start with the first question.

1.

Which sentence is correct?

A) Despite having a busy schedule, I always make sure to exercise regularly and eat healthy

food. B)

Despite to have a busy schedule, I always make sure to exercise regularly and eating

healthy food.

C) Despite I’m having a busy schedule, I always make sure to exercise regularly and

eat healthy food.

The correct sentence is: A) Despite having a busy schedule, I always

make sure to exercise regularly and eat healthy food.

We use despite (or in spite of ): + noun

+ verb + -ing (the Gerund) + the fact that.

Despite the rain, we enjoyed our camping holiday.

Despite breaking his leg, he has to go to work.

Despite the fact that he had no money, he bought an expensive present for his girlfriend.

The next question.

Let’s move on to the next question 2.

Change the sentence using inversion: A) The team of athletes are excited to compete.

B)

The team of athletes is excited to compete.

C) The athletes' team are excited to compete.

Answer: B)

The team of athletes is excited to compete.

The correct option is B because "team" is a collective noun Collective nouns are words

that refer to a group of things or people, such as a "team" of players or a "flock" of

birds.

Class, family, group, staff, army, council, audience are also collective nouns.

So the team should be treated as a single entity.

This means that it is always referred to with a singular verb, even though it may refer

to multiple individuals.

In this case, the verb "is" is used correctly to describe the excitement of the entire team.

Let’s move on to the next question 3.

Which sentence is correct?

A) The children had been playing outside for hours by the time their parents arrived home.

B)

The children was playing outside for hours by the time their parents arrived home.

C) The children had played outside for hours by the time their parents arrived home.

The correct answer is A: A) The children had been playing outside for hours by the time

their parents arrived home.

had been playing is the Past Perfect Continuous form, which is formed with had been + present

participle.

This tense is used to describe an action that started before a certain point in the past

and was still in progress at that time.

In this sentence, the action of playing outside started before the arrival of the parents

and was still ongoing, so the Past Perfect Continuous form is appropriate.

Let’s move on to the next question 4. Make a sentence using inversion.

Not only, she, to speak, English, but, also, she, to speak, Italian.

The correct answer is Not only does she speak English but she also speaks Italian.

Here we have the advanced grammar complex structure.

Inversion means that we have to switch the order of the subject and the verb.

Not only+verb+subject+verb, BUT subject + verb

Not only am I a teacher but I’m also a performer Not only did she forget my birthday, but she

also didn't even apologize for forgetting it.

Let’s move on to the next question 5.

Task: Choose the correct sentence from the three options below, each containing a different

use of Future tense.

A: By next year, she will have been studying for 10 years.

B: By next year, she will have studied for 10 years.

C: By next year, she will study for 10 years.

Correct Option: B In option B, the verb "have studied" is in

the Future Perfect tense and is used to describe an action that will be completed in the future.

We use the future perfect simple (will/won't have + past participle) to talk about something

that will be completed before a specific time in the future.

The phrase "by next year" specifies the time when the action will be completed.

Let’s move on to the next question 6.

Complete the sentences with the correct forms of the words in brackets.

She met all the _____________demanded, so she got the job.

(REQUIRE) The correct answer is requirements

Let’s move on to the next question 7.

Task: Choose the correct sentence among the following options:

A) If only I had known about the concert, I would have gone.

B)

If only I know about the concert, I would go.

C) If only I knew about the concert, I would have gone.

The correct sentence is A) If only I had known about the concert, I would have gone.

"If only" is used to express regret or sadness about a past situation that cannot be changed.

In this sentence, the speaker regrets not knowing about the concert, and expresses their

desire to have gone.

The past perfect tense "had known" is used to describe the past situation that cannot

be changed, and the past modal "would have gone" expresses the regret about not going

to the concert.

Let’s move on to the next question 8.

Choose the correct sentence among the following three options:

A) I wish I had remembered to bring my umbrella, now I'm getting soaked in the rain.

B)

I wish I would have remembered to bring my umbrella, now I'm getting soaked in the rain.

C) I wish I remember to bring my umbrella, now I'm getting soaked in the rain.

The correct sentence is: A) I wish I had remembered to bring my umbrella, now I'm getting soaked

in the rain.

In English, the past perfect tense (had + past participle) is used to talk about regrets

or wishes about something that has already happened in the past.

The phrase "I wish I had remembered" is an example of the past perfect tense and it is

used to express regret about not remembering to bring an umbrella.

We cannot say ("I wish I remember").

That’s not correct.

Let’s move on to the next question 9.

Complete the sentences with the correct forms of the words in brackets.

We try to be ____________ to the needs of the customer (RESPOND)

Correct Answer: We try to be RESPONSIVE to the needs of the customer

Responsive is an adjective that means reacting or replying quickly to a suggestion.

Let’s move on to the next question 10.

Choose the correct sentence among the following three options:

A) I’m going to work on the project as soon as I will have finished my lunch.

B)

As soon as I will finish my lunch, I’m going to work on the project.

C) I’m going to work on the project as soon as I finish my lunch.

The correct sentence is: C) I’m going to work on the project as soon as I finish my

lunch.

Here we have a time clause.

In the main part we use the future tense, in the subordinate clause we use the tenses

of the Present group (Present Simple, Present Continuous or Present Perfect), but not the

future tense.

I’ll text you as soon as they inform me.

I’ll answer you as soon I’ve finished working.

I’ll call you as soon I’m leaving work.

So the option C is correct.

Well done!

If you have all the answers correct in the Advanced section, then you have an Advanced

level!
