About This Quiz

Ever posted something like “I seen that movie” and instantly felt the shame crawl up your spine? Verb tenses are sneaky like that—they seem easy… until you mix up past perfect and simple past at the worst moment. Maybe it was during a job interview, a DM, or while helping someone else with their grammar.

This quiz gets straight to the point. It helps you catch those tense mistakes before they catch you. Through real sentence choices and everyday grammar struggles, it drills down on what you actually use—none of that textbook-only stuff. You’ll face verbs in disguise, time shifts mid-sentence, and the tricky ones that look right but aren’t.
Disclaimer: This quiz teaches standard grammar usage. It won’t judge your texting style, but your future professor might.
