I scored 10/10, and english is NOT my first language.

[TTR]

It's a piss, i got a 10 of 10 too! Same thing, English isn't my native language hehe..

*scared to try*

[macacom]

nice test

[random_monkey]

10 out of 10, but questions 4 and 10 are fucked up - nobody would ever say that ;P

[nWo4life]

This test is bullshit. How in the hell does macacom get a 10 out of 10 score??

[Mad_Maxine]

huh, 5 / 10... is that bad?

[Econobrick]

Sir monkey, I'm concerned about your opinion of those statements. Particularly #4, and your doubt of its being a very natural, common and un-convoluted way of wording a statement?!

10/10, by the way.

Maybe JP should take a gander at this 'un? Or I am I just asking for it now? :B

[Blingy]

lol,4/10!

[Kitteh]

I wonder why people twice my age still can't get those words right. 10/10.

[bruner_james]

I wonder why people twice my age still can't get those words right.

lack of interest in learning, or atleast thats what it seems like.

[valium]

9/10

and english is not native to me



still don't get number 4 tho'

[Oblivion]

9/10

Got wrong on the 4th sentence, mainly because I didn't understand it...

The test is made MUCH easier by the hints and grammar rules before each group of questions. Had the rules not been there, it would be much harder.

10/10 right.

It amazes me just how many Americans I've seen-for whom English is their only language-cannot for the life of them figure out the proper usage of these words. Go figure. It's gotta be either laziness or just lack of giving a shit how dumb they sound to others.

#4 would normally be worded as "His fear of a very long season seemed contagious."-without the words "its being." The way it's worded in the test is more likely the "proper" English way to say it.

Same with #10. It's uncommon for that kind of sentence to be worded that way. Usually it would be "These students have a poor attendance record. I'm worried about them being absent during next week's exams." Again, on the test it's probably the "proper" way to say it, but it's a seldom used way these days.

10/10 too, only hesitated a little on the "their beaing absent" phrase because of the way it is worded...got anything more challenging?
