English Grammar Quiz For Grade 5 - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    I did ________ than my friend on the test.

    • Best

    • Better

    • Baddest

    • Worst

    Correct Answer
    A. Better
    Explanation
    In this sentence, "better" is the correct comparative form of "good." Comparatives are used to compare two things or people. "Better" is the comparison between the speaker's performance and their friend's. "Best" refers to the highest level or quality, typically used when comparing more than two things. "Baddest" is an informal and incorrect superlative form of "bad," and "worst" is the comparative form of "bad." Since the sentence implies a comparison of performance, "better" is the most accurate and grammatically correct choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    How many colors would a multicolored object have?

    • Zero

    • One

    • More than one

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. More than one
    Explanation
    A multicolored object, by definition, has more than one color. The prefix "multi-" means many, and "colored" indicates the presence of multiple colors. Therefore, a multicolored object cannot have only one color or none. The correct answer is "More than one," as it accurately reflects that the object in question must have several colors. This distinguishes it from objects that are solidly one color or lack any color, which would not be considered "multicolored."

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Does this sentence have a transitive verb or an intransitive verb? "He gave her best friend a gift."

    • Transitive verb

    • Intransitive verb

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitive verb
    Explanation
    The verb "gave" in the sentence "He gave her best friend a gift" is a transitive verb because it requires a direct object to complete its meaning. The direct object is "a gift," which receives the action of the verb. A transitive verb transfers action from the subject to an object. In contrast, an intransitive verb does not have a direct object; for example, "He runs." The action is not directed toward anything in particular. Therefore, since "gave" transfers the action to "a gift," it is classified as a transitive verb.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of these is NOT an action verb?

    • Jump

    • Walk 

    • Play

    • Was

    Correct Answer
    A. Was
    Explanation
    Action verbs describe physical or mental actions, such as "jump," "walk," and "play." These verbs describe what the subject is doing, like moving or performing tasks. "Was" is not an action verb; it is a linking verb. It connects the subject to a subject complement, like in the sentence "She was happy." It does not express an action but rather a state of being. Therefore, the correct answer is "was," as it does not describe an action but instead serves to link the subject to a description or identity.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of these is NOT an example of a "be" verb?

    • Was

    • Is

    • Are

    • You

    Correct Answer
    A. You
    Explanation
    The "be" verbs are a group of verbs that are used to describe a state of being or existence. They can also be used as auxiliary verbs to help form continuous tenses and passive voice. The most common "be" verbs are: am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been. The word "you" is a pronoun, not a verb. It is used to refer to the person or people being addressed.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following sentences uses the subjunctive mood correctly?

    • If I was you, I would take the job. 

    • I wish I was taller. 

    • If he were to arrive on time, we would be surprised. 

    • It is essential that she attend the meeting.

    Correct Answer
    A. If he were to arrive on time, we would be surprised. 
    Explanation
    The subjunctive mood is used to express hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situations, wishes, or demands. In sentence (c), the subjunctive mood is used correctly to express a hypothetical situation ("If he were to arrive on time..."). The other sentences use the indicative mood, which is used for factual statements.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the meaning of a linking verb?

    • It is a verb that is followed by an Adjective, Noun, or Pronoun.

    • It is a verb that is followed by a Noun.

    • It is a verb that is followed by a Noun and a Pronoun.

    • It is a verb that is followed by an Adjective and a Noun.

    Correct Answer
    A. It is a verb that is followed by an Adjective, Noun, or Pronoun.
    Explanation
    A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence with a subject complement that describes or renames the subject. It does not show action. Linking verbs can be followed by an adjective (e.g., "She is tall"), a noun (e.g., "He is a teacher"), or a pronoun (e.g., "It is hers"). Common linking verbs include "is," "am," "are," "was," and "were." They serve the purpose of linking the subject to a description or identification rather than expressing an action like other verbs in a sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following is not a possessive pronoun?

    • My

    • Yours

    • Our

    • There

    Correct Answer
    A. There
    Explanation
    Possessive pronouns indicate ownership or possession. Examples include "my," "yours," and "our," which show that something belongs to someone. "There," however, is not a possessive pronoun. It is used as a demonstrative or locational pronoun, indicating place or existence (e.g., "There is a book on the table"). It does not show possession. Therefore, "there" is the only choice in this list that does not express ownership, making it the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What kind of verb is in this sentence? "Her sister is a nurse."

    • A normal verb

    • Linking verb

    • Transitive verb

    • Action verb

    Correct Answer
    A. Linking verb
    Explanation
    In the sentence "Her sister is a nurse," the verb "is" functions as a linking verb. Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, which can be an adjective, noun, or pronoun. Here, "is" links the subject "her sister" to the noun "nurse," which describes her sister’s occupation. Linking verbs do not show action; rather, they describe the state or condition of the subject. Common examples include "am," "is," "are," "was," and "were." Thus, "is" serves to connect the subject to its complement.
