hello everybody my name is Steve Ford and welcome to your English level test
today we're going to be taking a look at your level in terms of prepositions so we're going
to start at the B2 level which is Upper Intermediate then move on if you pass to
the C1 which is Advanced and we're going to finish off with the C2 level which is
proficiency level are you ready let's go [Music] number one my dad insisted coming home at 11 PM
and if you thought that the answer was insisted on that is correct I know some
people they will sometimes confuse in and on in this case it's insist on there is a
golden rule that I would like to give you a golden tip and that's that when
you have any preposition followed by a verb that verb is going to be in ing form
95 of the time so try to remember that one the next one I'm the mood to go out tonight
so which one is it
I think most of you will get this one because at the upper intermediate level you should know
this and it would be I'm in the mood to go out tonight in the mood we could say what are you in
the mood for that's the same thing as saying what do you feel like doing for example happy birthday
what are you in the mood for I'm in the mood for some Netflix and chill Netflix and chill
well if you'd like to chill some more watching my videos then please subscribe like and share
with your friends so he succeeded convincing his girlfriend to watch Netflix and chill
which one do you think it is
if you thought that it was in great job because even I had to think about this one
and there are two ways to use it you can say to succeed in doing something you can also say
to be successful in doing something or you can say to be successful at doing something both of
those will work and when I first thought about it I was thinking in or at to be honest an at
is only used with successful here I hope that I'm successful at helping you learn something today
number four he has two jobs hmm day he's a reporter night he's Superman
and if you thought that it was by day and by night really good job in case you don't
know that one it means the same thing as during the day or during the night or you
could say in the day and at night number five who is someone you can always count
and if you thought that it was count on that is correct all of these here use on
thank God so you can say count on depend on rely on they all use on isn't that a great thing
next one all of the clothes were sale
if you thought that the answer was on sale that is correct so there's a small
difference here there's on sale which means that you are buying something at a discount
or selling something at a discount and then there is for sale which simply means when something is
available to buy number seven there were no security personnel duty at that time
and if you thought that the answer was on duty that is correct so we say on duty when we mean
working at the moment or at that moment and usually it's for professions like security
officers nurses doctors military they are on duty working at that moment we also have on call which
means that you're not working but that you can be called at any moment to work and that also
is usually reserved for nurses doctors security Personnel if you don't have any other professions
where people need to be on call let me know in the comments my sister is married a rich man
you'll see in the first option here that it could be no preposition so which one do you think it is
if you thought the answer was married to a rich man you are correct so we have two ways that we
can say this and maybe this is what is confusing you I know that a lot of you will use with in your
language in English we don't we use two and you can say she's married to him you can use
the verb also and say she married a nice guy no preposition the next one the house sits the trees
and if you thought that it was a monk that is correct High Five by the way if you need
private lessons you can contact me at the link below this video
so back to my explanation when there are as in this case two trees you could say
the house is between it sits between the trees number 10 she is different her sister
if you thought that it was to or from you are correct you will hear some people say in
American English especially she's different than her sister that's not going to be an
acceptable answer on these kinds of tests but you will hear it in American spoken English
so how did you do if you got seven or less than you are at the B2 level of course if you got
five or less than you're going more toward the B1 level if you got eight or more really good
job if you got this far well done okay everybody I hope that this English level test gave you a
