c. The doctors and their spouses are all invited to the wedding.
d. The boss and her husband love going to parties together.
Incorrect
A:
Correct Sentence: The lady doctor is really great with her patients!
Explanation: “Lady doctor” is a sexist expression. Female doctors, like male doctors,
should simply be referred to as “doctors”, since men and women are equal.
2. Question
Which of the following sentences is grammatically incorrect?

a. Is this your jacket?
b. Whose jacket is this?
c. Is this jacket yours?
d. Who's jacket is this?
Incorrect
D:
Corrected Sentence: Whose jacket is this?
Explanation: Another way to ask this question is to say “To whom does this jacket
belong?”, so we’re talking about possession. “Who’s” is a contraction that’s short for
“who is”. The corrected form is noted above.

3. Question
Which of the following sentences in grammatically correct?
a. After Dave started saving money, he became financially independent.
b. After Dave started saving money, he became finance independent.
c. After Dave started saving money, he became financial independent.
d. After Dave started saving money, he became fiscal independent.
Incorrect
A:
Correct Sentence: After Dave started saving money, he became financially
independent.
Explanation: In this case, we need an adverb that can modify the adjective
“independent”. The correct adverb form is “financially”.
4. Question
Which of the following is grammatically correct?

a. John and Sarah runs together every day.
b. John and Sarah was running together every day.
c. John and Sarah runned together every day.
d. John and Sarah run together every day.


Incorrect
D:
Correct Sentence: John and Sarah run together every day.
Explanation: In this sentence, the verb needs to agree with the subject. “John and
Sarah” uses the third-person plural form of the verb (i.e. they).
5. Question
Which word in the following sentence is grammatically incorrect?

I would rather go to Costa Rica then to Florida for vacation.
a. for
b. then
c. rather
d. vacation
Incorrect
B:
Corrected Sentence: I would rather go to Costa Rica than to Florida for vacation.
Explanation: In this case, we’re comparing two different items. We know this for sure
because of the word “rather”. We need to use “than” instead of “then”. The corrected
form is noted above.
6. Question
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?


a. Allison opened the door and got onto the taxi.
b. Allison opened the door and got at the taxi.
c. Allison opened the door and got on the taxi.
d. Allison opened the door and got in the taxi.
Correct
D:

Explanation: Prepositions relating to transportation can be confusing. As a general
rule, taxis and cars use the preposition “in” while buses, trains, motorcycles, etc. use
the preposition “on”.
7. Question

a. William gave her his last piece of chocolate.
b. William gave him his last piece of chocolate.
c. William gave they his last piece of chocolate.
d. William gave us his last piece of chocolate.
Incorrect
C:
Corrected Sentence: William gave them his last piece of chocolate. 
Explanation: In this sentence, the object pronoun is incorrect. Instead of using

“they”, we should “them”. The corrected form is noted above.
8. Question
Which word in the following sentence is grammatically incorrect?

I would of called you, but my phone was broken.
a. of
b. called
c. broken
d. would
Correct
A:
Corrected Sentence: I would have called you, but my phone was broken.
Explanation: Although they’re often pronounced the same in spoken English, the
correct form is “would have”. The correction is noted above.
9. Question
Select the best word to complete the sentence.

The ant marched quickly back to ____ home.
a. its
b. it's

c. their
d. its'
Correct
A:
Correct Sentence: The ant marched quickly back to its home.
Explanation: In this case, the home belongs to the ant, so we need to express
ownership. It’s is a contraction, while its expresses ownership.
10. Question

a. After studying for weeks, Brian passed the exam with flying colors.
b. With seven books stacked in front of him, Liam was having trouble seeing the
board.
c. Having worked all summer planting seeds, the vegetables were ready to be eaten.
d. Filled with exhaustion, Rachel knew that she still needed to complete her
homework.
Incorrect
C:
Corrected Sentence: Having worked all summer planting seeds, they were ready to
eat the vegetables.
Explanation: When we have a participial phrase, we need to make sure that it’s next
to the noun it modifies. In this case, the incorrect sentence implies that the
vegetables were planting seeds all summer. The corrected form is noted above. 
