Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about the “How Are You Doing Quiz” but no doubt your teachers will want to talk about “Present Tense”. If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
When you say to someone 'How are you doing?' you are using the present tense. If you said 'How were you last Tuesday?' you would be using the past tense and if you said 'What will happen on Saturday you would be using the future tense. Find out how you are doing, yourself, with this practice quiz on present tense.

|
The important point here is the 'unknown thing' in the bowl: think which kind of question we need, to get that information.

The important answer here is to identify a person. Which question do we need for that?
|
One of these is the right kind of question to identify a thing among several similar items. It sounds as though only one cake is being bought, no more than that. (Let's not get greedy!)

There is one simple way to check the length of time that something takes to happen.
|
The simplest way to make a question is to turn the verb and its subject back-to-front. Which of these makes the best match? (You may find that the right answer 'has a familiar ring to it' ... !)
