Test your English listening and spelling
with this five minute quiz I've prepared for you!
Hi. My name is Lisa-Joy and I’m an English tutor at MosaLingua.
So, you’re about to initiate a quiz and will have to decide which word is correct:
option A or option B.
Ideally, you should have an answer before the time is up.
This quiz contains 10 questions and for each correct answer, you will score 1 point.
It's a good idea to type your answers in the comment box below,
this way I can see how you did on the test.
Oh! And here’s a mega clue that will help you in the quiz:
all the answers are homophones.
This means they are words that have another word with the same pronunciation
but different meanings and spelling.
Sounds a little confusing?
Here are a few examples:
- “hi” and “high”
- “no” and “know”
Now you remember what homophones are, let’s start the quiz!
Are you ready?
Here's question #1:
Did you get it right?
If you did, congratulations.
Give yourself 1 point.
Complement and compliment...
these are tricky!
Here’s a quick tip for you to never fail this one:
“Complement” with “e” looks a little like the word “complete."
And a “complement” is something that completes.
Now, “compliment” with “i” means to say something “admiring” to someone.
I meant “bare" hands (without gloves or mittens) NOT “bear” hands.
My hands are only tiny!
Another tricky one!
The word “vain" is not only a homophone of the word “vein,"
but it also has a double meaning.
Vain can mean: → having or showing an excessively high opinion
of one's appearance, abilities, or worth.
AND on the other side, it also means:
→ producing no result; useless
In this sentence, we understand that the word “vain” means “useless”:
“Will that be a useless hope?”
In English, every time you have the letters “K” and “N”
at the beginning of a word, the letter “K” remains silent.
For example: know / knee / knife
But to jog, I recommend you use a good sole!
Let’s spice things up a little bit more:
In questions 8 and 9, there will be two words missing.
Therefore, please score yourself half a point for each correct answer.
“Finnish” is the language and nationality of people from Finland.
And remember that in English, nationalities and languages require a capital letter.
And the quiz is now “FINISHed”
How many points did you get?
Do you find English homophones challenging?
I personally think that they are.
But do not get discouraged, and continue practicing.
Practice makes progress.
