FWIW,I got 12/14.

 

[Firestorm]

12 out of 14

 

[Uncle Leo]

11 out of 14. It was going so well, then three wrong out of the last four. :'(

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Meh, 13 but had to guess what a couple were called.

As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter what they are called*, only that you know how to use them.


*Unless you are teaching English when your pupils would be entitled to expect a level of competency at your subject.

Ha!Those were the questions I did well on, though I have to admit I made a couple of careless mistakes, by doing the test too quickly.

Tried the one in telegraph online today and must admit seems a fair bit harder at first glance than this one.

Link or is that behind a paywall?

 

[dloman]

13/14 actually much easier than The Telegraph one!

Hold on, will find the link and no not behind the paywall.

Cheers.Yeah, just did it .Only scored 50% on that.A much more traditional, less communicative type of grammar test, as befits the ToryGraph.:winking:

 

[Pubey]

9/14. Whoops

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

9/14. Whoops

Ha! :raspberry:Can't say I'm suprised.Try the Torygraph's one.

 

[Berrichonne shrimper]

3/14 and all three were guesses.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

14. Of course.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Metaphorically speaking the pen is my sword but I am not averse to using anything not nailed to the floor if it cuts up rough.

 

[MK Shrimper]

12 as well.

 

[Napster]

14 but then I am in the elite.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

11 out of 14. It was going so well, then three wrong out of the last four. :'(

Same for me. Can't say I knew what all the terms meant but most of it was pretty logical.

 

[Crawliano]

4/14

But that's my first visit to the Guardian website in months, so ultimately I'm the winner.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Bump.

Here's the link for The Telegraph's grammar test ( kindly provided by dloman ).Try it-it's more traditional and more difficult than The Guardian's quiz.
