Title: English grammar
Post by: Solnath on August 19, 2007, 09:17:26 AM

Your score in this little test (http://www.better-english.com/easier/theyre.htm) should be no less than 100%.

If it isn't or you have problems with something else than they're/their/there homonyms, this (http://www.better-english.com/exerciselist.html) is a good site to practice on English grammar.

Yours truly,
Soly,
Grammar national socialist.

Sh*t
86%  :'(
But I got it under 30 seconds :D
Once again I was a victim of not reading the text more carefully. Happened to me in school all the time.
I am a slipshod. :(

i think i made more than 30s, but had 100%. It's more a question of paying attention than actual knowledge. But you know, those 3 words are similar in sound, it's common in languages that have more linguistic base on sound to misspell them. Happens to me quite allot, when I'm typing fast, i 'right' the words using the 'write' sound.

100%, even if question 17 and its silly British English confused me slightly (I would say "IBM has increased its profits by 20%").

I'm so glad Prag said that, because I wondered whether I was just being picky.   :P

100%, though I believe a 3rd grader ought to be able to pass that one.

100%! But that one was rather easy, even (or especially?) for a foreigner.
