Practice
English grammar practice
Ten questions on the mistakes that come up most. Every answer tells you why, not just whether you were right.
Answer first, then read the reason. Getting one wrong and understanding why teaches you more than getting it right by luck.

How to get more out of practice
- Say the reason out loud before you click. If you cannot say why, you are guessing, and a lucky guess teaches nothing.
- Come back in three days, not in three minutes. Spacing your reviews out is what moves a rule into long-term memory.
- Take the ones you got wrong to your own writing. Find a sentence you wrote last week with the same pattern.
On why spacing your reviews works better than repeating them in one sitting, see the research summary on spaced repetition.

Questions people ask
Do I need an account to practise?
No. Your score is kept in your own browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
How often should I practise?
Short and spaced beats long and crammed. Ten minutes on three separate days will stick better than half an hour in one evening.
What if I get an answer wrong?
That is the useful case. The feedback tells you the rule and the test for it, so read that rather than just noting the right letter.
