[Music]
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
sign up for a free audiobook using the
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
