English Level Quiz! Can you pass? 30 Challenging Questions for ALL Levels

What is your English level? Beginner,  Intermediate or Advanced? Let’s find out!  

Today we’re going to have an English level  test to understand your level of English!

Hello, guys! I’m Kate and in this lesson we are  going to have a quiz to test your English level. 

There will be 3 parts – Beginner, Intermediate  and Advanced. There will be 10 questions in  

each part of the test. I show you the  question, then you have five seconds  

to think about the answer. You can pause  the video if you need more time to think. 

I’m going to explain the grammar and vocabulary  in every question. Now let’s get started. 

The first ten questions are for the  beginner level. Please don’t forget  

to count the number of correct answers you have.

1 Which sentence is correct? A) Which school do you go to? 

B) Which school are you go to? C) Which school you go to? 

The correct option is A)  Which school do you go to? 

When we ask a question in  the Present Simple tense,  

we use the auxiliary verb DO + subject + base  form of the verb. Which school do you go to?

2 Which sentence is correct? A) Those house has five bedrooms. 

B) These house has five bedrooms. C) This house has five bedrooms. 

The correct option is A)  This house has five bedrooms. 

We have demonstrative pronouns:  this, that, these, those 

This and that are used for singular  nouns, like this house and that house. 

Those and these are used for plural  nouns – these houses, those houses. 

In this sentence we have 1 house,  we need to say – this house. 

3 Which sentence is correct? A) It often snow in winter 

B) It often snows in winter C) It often snowing in winter 

The correct option is B) It often snows in winter. 

We should use the Present Simple tense. The  simple present tense expresses a general truth  

or a regular action. With ‘IT’ we add an –s to  the end of the verb. It often snows in winter.

4 Which sentence is correct? A) There some clouds in the sky. 

B) There are some clouds in the sky. C) There is some clouds in the sky. 

The correct option is B) There  are some clouds in the sky. 

The word "clouds" is a plural noun, meaning  more than one cloud. When we talk about more  

than one thing, we use "are" instead of  "is." So, we say "there are some clouds". 

5 Which sentence is correct? A) Are you found your keys yet? 

B) Did you found your keys yet? C) Have you found your keys yet? 

The correct option is C)  Have you found your keys yet? 

Use the present perfect tense to  talk about something that happened  

in the past that explains or affects the  present. To form the present perfect tense,  

we use have or has plus the past participle of  the verb: have + past participle or has + past  

participle. The word YET shows us  that the action has not happened,  

up to the current point in time, but  it is expected to happen in the future.

6 Which sentence is correct? A) David hurt his foot when  

he jumped over the drain. B) David hurts his foot when  

he jumped over the drain. C) David hurted his foot  

when he jumped over the drain. The correct option is A) David  

hurt his foot when he jumped over the drain. The simple past tense is usually formed by  

adding -ed to the verb. But there are  some verbs that don’t follow this rule. 

The simple past form of these verbs does not  end in -ed. Such verbs are called irregular  

verbs. The simple past tense of some  irregular verbs does not change at all. 

beat beat burst burst cost cost cut cut 

hit hit hurt hurt shut shut 

put put read read (spelling doesn’t  change, but pronunciation is different) 

For example, in the present simple  tense we say – I always shut the  

door. I often put some sugar in my  coffee. In the Past Simple tense,  

we say - He shut the door. I put some sugar  in my coffee. These verbs stay the same. 

7 Which sentence is correct? A) The books fell through the shelf 

B) The books fell off the shelf C) The books fell over the shelf 

The correct option is B)  The books fell off the shelf 

Some prepositions tell us about position or  place. In this sentence we should use ‘fell off’. 

You might fall off a bike. You might fall off the  roof. You might fall off the top of a mountain.  

We can also say fall from. The man fell off  the ladder. Or The man fell from the ladder.

8 Which sentence is correct? A) He didn’t get to the station in time. 

B) He don’t get to the station in time. C) He isn’t got to the station in time. 

The correct option is A) He  didn’t get to the station in time. 

We use do not, does not and did not to make other  verbs negative. When we talk about the action that  

happened in the past, we use didn’t + base form  of the verb. He didn’t get to the station in time.

9 Which sentence is correct? A) She speaks clear and correct. 

B) She speaks clear and correctly. C) She speaks clearly and correctly. 

The correct option is C) She  speaks clearly and correctly. 

Clearly and correctly are adverbs of manner.  An adverb is a word that describes a verb.  

It tells you about an action, or the way  something is done. A lot of adverbs end in -ly 

They laughed loudly. The parcel  arrived safely. The man walked slowly. 

An adjective usually describes  a noun. She has a clear voice.  

Her voice is clear. But she speaks  clearly. How does she speak? Clearly

10 Which sentence is correct? A) I didn't see anybody in the park. 

B) I didn't see nobody in the park. C) I didn't see somebody in the park. 

The correct option is A) I  didn't see anybody in the park. 

When we want to say "no one" in a sentence  that is negative, we use "nobody" or "anybody": 

We can’t use two negative words in the same  sentence. We cannot use a negative word two  

times. If we have don’t, aren’t, isn’t, didn’t,  we use anybody. I didn't see anybody in the park. 

Look at this example. We can say - There  is nothing left in the fridge. Or There  

isn’t anything left in the fridge. When  we have ‘isn’t’ we should use ‘anything’.

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  

higher than beginner, you should go ahead  taking the test to see what your level is. 

And if you have less than eight correct  answers your level is beginner. And that’s  

not bad. Just keep practicing and you  will take your English to the next level!

Welcome to the Intermediate Section. 

1 Which sentence is correct? A) I walked home when I met him. 

B) I was walking home when I met him. C) I walk home when I met him. 

The correct option is B) I was  walking home when I met him. 

In this sentence we use the Past Continuous  tense. I was doing something means I was in the  

middle of doing it at a certain time. The action  started before this time, but had not finished.

2 Which sentence is correct? A) This is nice jeans. 

B) These are nice jeans. C) This is a nice jeans. 

The correct option is B) These are nice jeans. Sometimes we use a plural noun for one thing  

that has two parts. For example, trousers (two  legs), also jeans, shorts, pants and pyjamas.  

These words are plural, so they take a  plural verb: are. These are nice jeans.  

Although it is one thing, it is plural. We can also use a pair of + these words,  

for example – This is a nice pair of jeans. We  say This is… because the word ‘pair’ is singular.

3 Which sentence is correct? A) Have you heard anything from Bob recently? 

B) Did you hear anything from Bob recently? C) Have you been heard anything from Bob recently? 

The correct option is A) Have you  heard anything from Bob recently? 

In this sentence we use the Present Perfect  tense. When we talk about a period of time  

that continues from the past until now, we use the  present perfect (have been / have travelled etc.). 

Here, we are talking about a period  that continues until now (recently,  

in the last few days, so  far, since I arrived etc.):

4 Which sentence is correct? There is paint on his clothes. 

A) He has been painting his bedroom. B) He painted his bedroom. 

C) He has painted his bedroom. The correct option is A) He  

has been painting his bedroom. ‘has been painting’ is the present  

perfect continuous tense. We are thinking of the  activity. It doesn’t matter whether it has been  

finished or not. In this example, the activity  (painting the bedroom) has not been finished. 

Now look at this example – He has painted  his bedroom. The bedroom was blue. Now it  

is green. He has painted his bedroom. ‘has  painted’ is the present perfect tense. Here,  

the important thing is that something  has been finished. ‘He has painted’ is  

a completed action. We are thinking about the  result of the activity (the painted bedroom),  

not the activity itself. 5 Which option is correct? 

When we got home last night, we found  that somebody ________ into the house 

A) had broken B) broke 

C) have broken The correct option is A) had broken 

In this sentence we use the Past Perfect tense  (I had done). The past perfect is formed with  

had + past participle (gone/seen/finished etc.). Sometimes we talk about something that happened  

in the past: We got home last night. This  is the starting point of the story. Then,  

if we want to talk about things that  happened before this time, we use the  

past perfect (had …): When we got home last night,  we found that somebody had broken into the house.

6 Your friend is going to a  wedding next week. You ask: 

A) What will you wearing? B) What are you going to wear? 

C) What do you wear? The correct option  

is B) What are you going to wear? When we talk about the future plans,  

we use the structure ‘to be going to’. I am going to do something MEANS I have  

already decided to do it. I’m going to wear a  white dress means I have already decided to do it.

7. Fill in the blank. Three hours from now, the  movie theater will be empty. The film will have  

finished. Everyone ___________. A) will go home 

B) will have gone home C) Will be going home 

The correct option is B) will have gone  home. We use the Future perfect tense here. 

I will have done something MEANS it will  be complete before a time in the future. 

For example: Jenna always leaves for work at 7.30  

in the morning. She won’t be at home at  8 o’clock – she will have gone to work.

8. Sarah has quite a good job.  What does this sentence mean? 

A) She has a very good job B) Her job is good, but not the best 

C) Her job is not good enough The correct option is B) Her  

job is good, but not the best Quite means less than ‘very’,  

but more than ‘a little’. In this sentence  the word quite means ‘Her job is good,  

but not the best’. Probably there  are better jobs out there but it is  

quite good. It is pretty good. The words  pretty and quite are similar in meaning.

9. Which sentence is correct? A) They have lived for a long  

time in the same house. B) They have lived in  

the same house for a long time. C) They for a long time lived in the same house. 

The correct option is B) They have  lived in the same house for a long time. 

The correct word order is Subject  + Verb + Object + Place + Time 

In this sentence They – is a  subject, have lived is a verb,  

then we have a place – in the same house and  time (when? or how long?) – for a long time. 

It’s important to know how to make sentences in  English and put the words in the right order.  

I recommend that you watch my grammar  lesson on word order. The link is here. 

10. Which sentence is correct? A) Sorry, I sent this email at mistake 

B) Sorry, I sent this email on mistake C) Sorry, I sent this email by mistake 

The correct option is C – by mistake. You can say that something happens  

by mistake / by accident / by chance. But we say ‘do something on purpose’. For example  

– I didn’t do it on purpose. I did it by mistake. 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 far beyond intermediate! So that’s  

amazing! Keep going with the rest of the  video and find out your level of English!

Advanced Now it’s time to  

move on to the advanced section. In this part  we’re going to have 10 challenging questions,

C) As long as you have a car,  it’s difficult to get there.

it’s difficult to get there. Unless  means ‘except if’ Unless you have a car,

B) Alex deserves to receive  the award for his hard work.

The verb ‘deserve’ needs the infinitive  after it. (to + base form of the verb) 

We can also use a noun - Alex deserves the  award for his hard work. Or Alex deserves  

to receive the award for his hard work. The following verbs always require the  

infinitive (to + base form of the verb) Agree, appear, care, decide, deserve,  

expect, fail, hesitate, hope,  intend, plan, promise, refuse, want

I find my dream apartment. C) I’ve been renting a small  

studio until I find my dream apartment. The correct answer is A) I’m renting a  

small studio until I find my dream apartment. We use the continuous tense for temporary  

situations (things that  continue for a short time).

In this sentence, the speaker is in a  temporary living situation (renting a studio),  

while looking for a more permanent  place (their dream apartment).

we should use the PAST Perfect Continuous. We use the past perfect continuous to talk about  

something that was in progress recently  before or up to a past point in time.

Here we have an example of a third conditional  sentence, which is used to talk about a past  

situation that did not happen and its possible  result in the past. This sentence structure  

typically follows the pattern: "If + past  perfect, would have + past participle." 

It describes a hypothetical situation  in the past and its potential result.
