Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: Tal on May 14, 2013, 10:20:31 PM Fallen subjunctive made me giggle.
Mercifully managed the full house. What I will say is the fact the vast majority of people will get 3-7 out of ten demonstrates grammar is one small feature of language and that communication is what really matters. Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: Woodsey on May 15, 2013, 08:07:21 AM ;ashamed;
Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: Redsgirl on May 15, 2013, 09:41:27 AM A pretty dismal 4/10. My daughter did the new grammar S.A.T.S test yesterday, I hope she's better than me!

a couple of those were stupid though Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: Graham C on May 15, 2013, 03:31:47 PM 5/10. Technical jargon ones and what Churchill objected too, are we supposed to know or care?
Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: Evilpengwinz on May 15, 2013, 03:37:54 PM 5/10 here.
Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: Swordpoker on May 16, 2013, 10:33:07 AM 7/10 but 2 were complete guesses which went well :)
Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: tikay on May 16, 2013, 10:40:37 AM Bugger. 6/10 here, and a bit embarrassing, I'd never even heard of dangling participle whatsits, thought that was an Omaha term. Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: Marky147 on May 16, 2013, 10:46:55 AM A better than expected 5/10 :D
Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: cambridgealex on May 16, 2013, 12:28:01 PM I got 6 too. Some of the questions felt a bit ridiculous and not really necessary to know.
Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: Karabiner on May 16, 2013, 12:45:02 PM This was also posted on gramps' diary.
Tal got 10, I managed 8, and doubleup got 7. Title: Re: BBC Grammar Quiz Post by: technolog on May 16, 2013, 01:13:52 PM I got 8 but there were two lucky guesses included in that, so 6 really.
