    Hi Greg! Thank you for this test. It was easy for me. I made only 1 mistake on Q.13, because I didn't read the question correctly (arrived instead of arrives). I also noticed that in question 21 it is: A. They were walking, but in your answers it is: D. They were walking. Same for question 38 - She is studying. The correct answer is A, not B. You just mixed the letters. 😀

    Great test. My score is 44 out of 50. There are two inconsistencies in the video where the letter in the answers differs from the letter order in the options list: The question #21 - They were walking. The correct answer is A (9:49), but your letter D before the same right answer wrongly shown (10:00). The question #38 - She is studying. The correct answer is A (18:08), but your letter B before the same right answer wrongly shown (18:21).

    A word of caution, there are circumstances where more than one answer is possible. E.g. 8 :- Generally: "At school, she reeds books every day." Future: "When she goes on holiday, she will reed books every day" seems fine to me. Although I expect a native would say "read a book" in both cases. (We are probably too lazy to sound two Ss on consecutive words) There are lots of similar instances.

I can only assume we are all wrong, being that the verb - to move is in the past tense; therefore HAD been living is the grammatically correct way to say it? Please help

    I am from the US, and of French ancestry. My father is fluent in French and Bengali, but I still struggle with the French language despite having studied it for 2 years in college. French is much more logical and systematic and I can read it fairly well but I have difficulty understanding and speaking it. I'm really glad that English is my native tounge, as it is so full of inconsistencies I would never been able to master it otherwise. I really admire non native speakers who become fluent in English.

    I really enjoyed this test! I got 3 wrong, but I think it's not bad for a German!

    Less than 1sec. But I have a natural ability-given to me by God. Math is another story. In my 50’s it became easier. Thank you. This is fun!!!😉😊❤️
