Elementary Test
Welcome to the elementary test that focuses on important grammar points such as modal verbs, past forms, and prepositions. Below is a brief explanation of the key topics you'll encounter in this test:
Can / Can’t
"Can" is a modal verb used to express ability or permission. For example, "I can swim" means you are able to swim, and "You can leave" means you are allowed to leave.
"Can’t" (cannot) is the negative form of "can." It is used to show inability or lack of permission. For example, "I can’t swim" means you are not able to swim, and "You can’t leave" means you are not allowed to leave.
Was / Were - Could
"Was" and "Were" are the past forms of the verb "to be." "Was" is used with singular subjects (I, he, she, it), while "Were" is used with plural subjects (you, we, they). For example, "I was at home" or "They were at the park."
"Could" is the past form of "can." It is used to talk about abilities in the past or to make polite requests. For example, "When I was young, I could run fast" or "Could you help me with this?"
Was born
The phrase "was born" is used to indicate when and where someone came into the world. For example, "I was born in 1990" or "She was born in New York." It is typically followed by the year or place of birth.
Prepositions
Prepositions are words that show relationships between nouns or pronouns and other words in a sentence. They often indicate location, time, direction, or relationships. Some common prepositions include "in," "on," "at," "to," and "for." Examples include "I live in Paris," "She was born on a Monday," and "I am going to the store."
