Are you grammatically correct?

[Twerp]

the trick is to take away the other person's name and see how it sounds.

"The professor gave the most difficult problems to Andrea and me."

"The professor gave the most difficult problems to Andrea and I."

see now? it would be wrong to say "the professor gave the most difficult problems to I."

that is how i was taught.

I was taught that in the 4th grade. It really does help a lot. Too bad I got a 7 out of 10 ^_^

[Pandagirl!]

My mom told me that.

I got 10/10, and I'm not lying either. I'm gonna major in English, and my mom used to be an English teacher, so I've grown up having to know correct grammar. Not that I use it all of the time.

And I bet when talking to your friends you say "And she was like 'Oh my gosh!' you know?"

I cannot stand people that say "like" when they mean to say "said" or an equivlant form of narration.

And I bet when talking to your friends you say "And she was like 'Oh my gosh!' you know?"

I cannot stand people that say "like" when they mean to say "said" or an equivlant form of narration.

There was an article in a local paper in the editorials section concerning the "Like"addiction.
The man basically said the word "like" was a verbal plague and was degrading the english language and that "Like" should be restricted to comparison use only.
It's funny because I had never really thought about it before, and while reading the article I said "bullshit. Teens don't talk like that". The next day at school, within the first 5 minutes of being there, I probably heard "like" over 100 times. We really aren't aware of it, it actually becomes a type of mechanism... inserting itself into our words.
I wonder where the "like" plague started... and god knows it was before Clueless came out. And why is it restricted mainly to teens? weeeird. I need to stop saying "dude" too

Do you diagram sentences in your spare time? You got 9/10 correct.
1

Correct!
The correct answer: C There are
Your answer: C There are

"There are two ways to get there from here—my way and the wrong way."

There’s is shorthand for There is and should be used only with a singular subject--"There’s one way, and one way only." Because the sentence specifies two ways to get there, the verb must be plural--there are two ways. They’re is short for They are. It may sound about right, but it means something else entirely.
2

Correct!
The correct answer: A affected
Your answer: A affected

"Having to share a room with my sister has definitely affected my ability to concentrate."

Affect and effect are often confused, because they sound similar and can have very similar meanings. To keep them straight, just remember that affect is only used as a verb, as in this example. Effect is nearly always used as a noun: “Sharing a room with my sister has had a terrible effect on my concentration.” And if your concentration is infected, just blame your sister.
3

Correct!
The correct answer: A me
Your answer: A me

"The professor gave the most difficult problems to Andrea and me."

No one would say, “The professor gave the most difficult problems to I.” Still, many of us instinctively use the pronoun I when we're paired with another person, even when me is required (because it’s an indirect object as in this example or because it follows a preposition). If you’re unsure whether to use I or me, you may be tempted to skirt the issue by saying, “The professor gave the most difficult problems to Andrea and myself.” Nice try, but myself should only be used for emphasis, not in a sentence like this one.

Get the scoop on “me, myself, and I” in Grumpy Martha’s Guide to Grammar and Usage.
4

Correct!
The correct answer: C lay
Your answer: C lay

"After working on my car all evening, I finally lay down to sleep at around midnight."

Even your persnickety old English teacher is probably flummoxed by lay and lie now and then, particularly when the words are used in the past tense. To lay is to place something somewhere. To lie is to recline. But here’s the kicker: The past tense of lie is lay!
5

Correct!
The correct answer: B regardless
Your answer: B regardless

"He tells everyone at school that I’m his girlfriend, regardless of the fact that he never calls me."

People often use irregardless when they really mean regardless. In fact, irregardless is not really a word, regardless of its rampant misuse. Regardful means to be either mindful of something or respectful of someone.

Learn more about the irritating use of irregardless in Grumpy Martha’s Guide to Grammar and Usage.
6

Correct!
The correct answer: A bad
Your answer: A bad

"I feel bad about revealing your imprecise use of the English language."

So many people misuse bad and badly that it may seem nitpicking to point out the distinction in usage. But to feel badly (or awfully for that matter) literally means to touch or handle something incorrectly. Use badly, an adverb, only to describe an action. Use bad, an adjective, to describe a condition or a passive state of being--like feeling.
7

Incorrect
The correct answer: C were
Your answer: A is

"He acts as if he were the coolest guy in school."

It may sound a bit pretentious, but were is called for in this sentence because it describes something that’s untrue (he’s clearly not the coolest guy in school). This is an example of the subjunctive mood, which is used to express doubts, wishes, possibilities, or untruths.
8

Correct!
The correct answer: A its
Your answer: A its

"I can't get the VCR to record; its instructions are too complicated."

Even though an apostrophe + s often indicates possession, the pronoun it breaks this rule--its (without an apostrophe) is the possessive form. It’s (with an apostrophe) is not possessive at all; it’s short for it is.
9

Correct!
The correct answer: C we
Your answer: C we

"My English teacher seems convinced that we students will never use proper grammar."

The personal pronoun is the subject of this clause, so it needs to be in the subjective form (we), even though it’s being modified by a noun (students). To know which form to use, just imagine what you would say if you dropped the noun (in this case students). You’d never say, “… us will use proper grammar” or “… me will use proper grammar.” So, despite the addition of the word students, we shall overcome!
10

Correct!
The correct answer: B could've
Your answer: B could've

"I could've made a perfect score, if there hadn't been so many trick questions."

Many people mishear contractions involving would, should, and could as the verb + of instead of the verb + ‘ve. Could of sounds similar to could've when spoken, but it's incorrect to use it as the contraction of could have. Coulda is not a word in the English language, no matter what people say.

[Twerp]

restricted to comparison use only.

That sounds like a law. I don't really like it when somebody says that, but I mainly hear it from girls. And all the boys say "dude" too. I don't know why, but that bugs me. My brother says that and I tease him for doing it.

[Rigor]

hehe got a 10/10 ive learned to get those trick questions down - ive had some pretty good english teachers in the past :grin:

I could stop saying dude easy if I could stop going to skate parks... every second word is "dude" and without it, everyone would sound funny.

[Edify]

Not bad
But you may want to think twice about pursuing a career as a copy editor. You got 7/10 correct.

[Galleleo]

I always use like when I want to be sarcastic for example:

I was like going to the market and this girl was like OMG, and I was like pssh, so like I took this bitch and threw her like down on the floor and we like got into a mad fight like really mad, throwing punches like all over the place.

You here this in the (hollywood) movies alot, almost always teenage girls gossiping.

9/10 with english as third language.

I blew the its/it's question, and I don't understand it even after reading the explanation.
