B2 English Grammar Quiz 10 Questions With Explanations

This is part two, the B2 level. If you haven't done the B1 test yet, make sure to watch this video. Now let's see how you do with B2 grammar. B2 grammar test. Question number one. He looks very relaxed. He. The exam. Is it A. Must pass. B. Must passed. C. Must have passed. And the answer is C. He looks very relaxed. He must have passed the exam. The structure is very simple. Must have. Must participate. Strong deduction about the past. For example, she must have forgotten about our meeting. Moving on. The second question. If I hotter at university, I would have a better job now. Is it A. Studied. B. Had studied. C. Study. And the answer is B. If I had studied hotter at university, I would have a better job now. This one is tricky. And what do we have there? Mixed conditional. It connects a past action to present result. All right? For example, if I had learned Spanish, I would work in Spain now. So, past action. Had learned. Present result. Would work. Moving on. Guys, many of you asked me for help with English. I'm excited to offer my monthly plan to help you reach B1 level.

Not only late, but he also forgot the documents. Is it A. He arrived. B. Did he arrive. C. Had he arrived. And the answer is B again. Not only did he arrive late, but he also forgot the document. Documents. Even worse. Documents. All right, why? After not only, we use inversion. Here we use past simple because the action arrived late, happened in the past, and there is no earlier past action. So he arrived. It's just about the normal word order. It doesn't work. After not only. And had he arrived. No, it's not needed here. Past perfect. For example, not only did she win. Not only did she win, but what? But she also broke a record. Good for her. All right. Another tricky question. So, question number four. Hardly the meeting when the phone ran. Is it A. We started. B. We had started. C. Had we started. And the answer is. C. Hardly had we started the meeting when the phone ran. All right. After hardly, we use inversion. Hey, and the structure is hardly plus had plus subject plus past participle. Why? Well, here we use past perfect because the action happened just before another past action. Right? So, what happened first? The meeting started and then the phone ran. Another example for you guys. Hardly had I arrived when it started raining. So, what happened first? Once again. First, I arrived and then it started raining. Question number five. I wish I more free time. Is it A. Have. B. Had. C. Will have. The answer is B. I wish I had more free time. After I wish, we use past simple to talk about present situations we want to change. For example, I wish I lived near the ocean. Have is incorrect here and will have. It is about the future. It has a future meaning, but here now it's incorrect. Clear? Let's move on. And we are halfway through this level as well. Question number six. I wanted to... My plan with the colleague before presenting it to the team. Is it A. Ease off. B. Map out. C. Bounce off. Take your time. Tricky advanced phrasal verbs. And the answer is C. I wanted... I wanted to bounce off my plan with a colleague before presenting it to the team. Why? Well, to bounce off means to discuss an idea with someone before taking future actions. What about ease off? It means to reduce intensity. And map out. To plan something in detail. Another example. I like to bounce my ideas off my team before making a final decision. Question number seven. He whispered... Nobody would hear him. Is it A. So. B. So that. C. Because. And the answer is B. He whispered so that nobody would hear him. Why? So that introduces a purpose clause. For example, she spoke quietly so that the baby wouldn't wake up. Because just doesn't make sense there. And so he whispered so nobody... No, incorrect here. We need a clause. Three more left and we're done. We can call it a day. So question number eight. The students passed the exam, celebrated together. So is it A. Most of whom. B. Most of whom. C. Most of which. The answer is B. The students, most of whom, passed the exam, celebrated together. Why? After prepositions we use whom for people. And guys, what's the difference between who and whom? Let's take a look. Who is the subject of a clause. The one doing the action. And whom is the object of a clause. The one receiving the action. What about which? Which is for things, not for people. It is wrong here. Another example. The players, many of whom were injured, continued the match. Question number nine. I'd rather you me the truth. Is it A. Tell. B. Have told. C. Told. Take your time. This one is really tricky. The answer is C. I'd rather you told me the truth. Why? Well, after I'd rather we use past simple to talk about the present or future preference. Preference. So it's not about the past. Guys, be careful with this one. It's not about the past even though the form is past simple. And it is a polite way to express what we want someone to do now or later. Another example. I'd rather you stayed here tonight. Finally, the last one. Question number 10. She's believed a broad now. Is it A. Living. B. To live. C. To be living. The answer is C. She's believed to be living a broad now. Why? You may ask. So the structure is common, is very common in formal English. Subject plus is believed plus to be plus verb with o-n-g ending. Example. Another example for you. The scientist is believed to be working on a new discovery. And that's it. That's it. Congrats.
