A sample question (not scored, not in the test)

Choose the correct form: If it ___ tomorrow, we will stay at home.

  1. rains
  2. will rain
  3. rained
  4. is raining
Show the answer

rains. A condition about the future takes the present simple after if; the will goes in the other half of the sentence. “If it will rain” puts the future in twice.

Questions people ask

Is this grammar test free?

Yes. There is no email and no payment, and no account is needed. The thirty questions run in your browser and the result appears as soon as you finish.

Is this British English or American English?

Both. Correct answers follow standard British and American usage; questions where the varieties differ are left out.

Does this grammar test give me an English level?

No. It gives a score out of 100 and accuracy for six grammar areas. A level such as A1 to C2 comes from a standardized test with trained raters, not from thirty multiple-choice questions.

How long does the grammar test take?

About ten minutes at a comfortable pace. There is no timer, so you can sit with a sentence for as long as you want before answering.

Can I see why an answer was wrong?

Yes. The answer review lists all thirty questions with your answer, the correct option, and the rule that decides it applied to the words in that sentence.
