hello everyone and welcome back to

english with lucy today i’m going to

test you on your grammar and i want you

to comment below with your score out of

ten and be honest and truthful because

it’s very unlikely that you’ll get ten

out of ten so get out a pen and paper

write down the answers and if you get

any wrong don’t worry I will help you

with a short explanation before we get

started this video is going to help you

with your reading and your writing and

your speaking but if you want to improve

your listening and your pronunciation I

cannot recommend audible enough you can

link in the description box I personally

recommend listening to Harry Potter read

by Stephen Fry in his gorgeous RP accent

right let’s get started with the quiz 1

John saw last week John saw last week is

it who or is it who

the correct answer is whom there’s an

easy way to work out if you need to use

who or whom in the sentence if he or she

fits use who and if him or her fits use

whom John saw whom last week number 2

our politicians want to change our

politicians want to change is it affect

or effect it is effect with an e this is

because to affect change is a set verb

phrase our politicians want to affect

change number 3

did you see the books I bought her did

you see the books I bought her is it

that or is it witch

it is that because that is used in

defining clauses

did you see the books that I bought her

number for neither of us intelligent

enough neither of us intelligent enough

is it our or is it is is and this is

because if you think about it like

neither one of us is intelligent enough

one goes with is because it’s singular

neither of us is intelligent enough

number five bag is that bag is that is

it whose or whose they sound the same

is it whose with an apostrophe or whose

with an S II it is whose with an F this

is because whose s e is a possessive

pronoun and whose with an apostrophe is

a contraction of who in whose bag is

that number six I wish I studied harder

I wish I studied harder is it had or is

it would have it is hag I wish I had

studied harder I wish I would have is a

common mistake made by speakers of

American English but it’s not

grammatically correct number seven I

think I need to down and rest I think I

need to down and rest is it lay

or is it lie

it’s lie to lie down means to recline

and to lay down means to establish like

a rule or something to lay down the law

I need to lie down and rest number 8 you

can stand between will and you can stand

between will and is it I or is it me

it’s me a preposition such as between

should be followed by an objective

pronoun like me him us I she he etc are

subjective pronouns you can stand

between will and me number 9 I want

people in my kitchen I want people in my

kitchen is it fewer or is it less it’s

fewer fewer is correct because people is

a plural countable now I want fewer

people in my kitchen and the last one

number 10 - were you talking to

were you talking is it who or whom it is

use to with who at the beginning of a
