Quiz: The Basic Grammar Test which tried 92 Americans And Only 6 Passed It

The subject 'each' is singular, so it requires the singular verb 'is'. 'Each of the students is responsible' follows subject-verb agreement rules.

The pronoun after a preposition (like 'between') must be in the objective case. 'Between' is a preposition, so use 'me'.

With third-person singular subjects (he, she, it), the auxiliary verb 'does' is used to form negatives: 'He doesn't like pizza.'

In American English, collective nouns like 'team' are typically treated as singular, taking 'is'.

The subjunctive mood requires 'were' for hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situations, even with a singular subject.

When 'neither/nor' connects a singular and a plural subject, the verb agrees with the nearer subject—'students' is plural, so 'are'.

The simple past tense of 'go' is 'went'. Since the action happened yesterday, use past tense.

'Effect' as a noun means a result. 'Affect' is usually a verb. The sentence needs a noun.

Who's is a contraction of 'who is' or 'who has'. Whose shows possession. Here, 'who is coming' is correct.

'Its' is the possessive form of 'it', without an apostrophe. 'It's' means 'it is' or 'it has'.

The correct idiom is 'I couldn't care less', meaning I care so little that it's impossible to care less. 'I could care less' implies you do care.

'Than' is a conjunction; the full clause is 'taller than I am.' The subjective case 'I' is correct.

The pronoun is the object of the preposition 'by', so use the objective case 'me'.

The subject 'reasons' is plural, so the verb must be plural 'are'.

After the auxiliary 'have', use the past participle 'come' (base form for come).

The past participle of 'go' is 'gone'. After 'should have', use the past participle.

In modern standard English, 'data' is often treated as a singular mass noun, taking 'is'. However, traditionally plural; but the test accepts 'is' as correct.

The subject 'each' is singular, so it takes 'has'.

With 'neither/nor', the verb agrees with the nearer subject 'brothers' (plural), so 'were'.

The subject is 'one' (singular), not 'friends'. Therefore, the verb is 'is'.
