Zorg the alien is struggling to ask humans for basic information. Drag the correct phrases to fix his questions!
"Excuse me, where can I find the best pizza in this galaxy?"
"Also, how much does this cost in Earth money?"
"Finally, why are you running away from me?"
"Excuse me, where can I find the best pizza in this galaxy?"
In Wh- questions, the auxiliary or modal verb (can) must come before the subject (I).
"Also, how much does this cost in Earth money?"
The correct question word order is: Wh- word (how much) + auxiliary (does) + subject (this) + main verb (cost).
"Finally, why are you running away from me?"
For the present continuous tense, the "to be" verb (are) swaps places with the subject (you) to form a question.
Questions
If you've ever asked You like coffee? with rising intonation and gotten a confused look — you've felt the gap between casual and grammatical English questions. Many languages form questions with intonation alone, but English usually requires inversion (Are you ready?) or do-support (Do you like coffee?). Skip the structure and your questions sound like uncertain statements.
Questions in English use inversion of subject and an auxiliary (Can she dance?) or do-support when no auxiliary is present (Does the milk go in the fridge?). Yes/no questions, wh-questions, negative questions, and tag questions all share this machinery.
Word Order
If your first language has flexible word order — Russian, Latin, German, Japanese — English can feel rigid. You can't just rearrange words for emphasis the way you would at home; the grammar tracks position, not just inflection. Get the order wrong and the sentence either changes meaning or stops making sense.
Word order is the sequence of words in a sentence. English is an SVO language — subject, verb, object. The order of adjectives and modifiers in a noun phrase also follows fixed patterns. Get this right and your English instantly sounds more natural.
Humor
If you've ever reached the third drill of present perfect and felt your eyes glaze over, you've hit the limits of dry repetition. Practice that's even mildly funny is far easier to come back to — and far easier to remember weeks later. That's the whole point of the Humor tag.
The Humor tag marks questions where the author has tried to make the practice entertaining alongside instructive. Subjective, sometimes silly, but designed to keep you engaged long enough for the rule to stick.
A2 | Elementary | Pre-intermediate
If you can order coffee, ask for directions, and tell someone what you did yesterday — but struggle the moment the conversation drifts into anything abstract — you're operating at A2. Knowing this matters: A2 is the level where most learners plateau because they reach for B2 material too early and burn out. Stay here and your foundations get unbreakable.
A2 is the elementary level in the CEFR framework, covering routine communication and the first wave of real grammar: past simple and continuous, present perfect, basic modal verbs, first conditional, and common verb-pattern rules.
Difficulty: Easy
If a textbook leaves you confused, sometimes the issue isn't the topic — it's that the practice material is layered with extra complications. Filtering by Easy strips that away. You get one rule at a time, in plain everyday language, with no trick questions. It's how you make a shaky foundation solid before stacking more on top.
The Easy difficulty tag marks beginner-level questions and challenges — typically A1 or early A2. Single-rule focus, short sentences, common vocabulary, one clear correct answer.
