Choose grammar practice for the skill you are teaching

Start with a grade, then choose a skill such as nouns, verb tenses, subject-verb agreement or sentence structure. Each skill page brings together a short explanation and its available quizzes. You can choose one target for a warm-up, a lesson follow-up or a short review at home.

Grades 1–8 organize the English practice. Earlier grades introduce words and simple sentence patterns; later grades include clauses, verbals and more detailed usage. Review skills also appear in later grades. Use the named skill and its examples to decide where to begin, rather than treating a grade label as a placement test.

Use online grammar quizzes or printable quiz sheets

Online multiple-choice quizzes give feedback after each answer. The skill page shows the levels and sets currently available. An adult’s free account opens a free starter quiz for each skill. Other quizzes follow the account’s practice allowance.

For paper practice, open a skill and use its print options. Individual quiz sheets include an answer key and use the account’s download allowance. Pro also offers skill and grade workbooks. Choose a worksheet when students need to write or discuss an answer away from the screen.

Connect a grammar answer to a complete sentence

After a question, ask the student to explain which word or sentence feature guided the answer. Then try a new sentence using the same rule. For parts of speech, for example, identify a noun and explain what an adjective tells you about it.

Use the reading and Fix the Sentence links above when you want to revisit grammar in a passage or an editing activity. Vocabulary practice has a different focus: understanding word meanings, word parts and relationships between words.
